Goals / Stimulus / Objectives
Goal: 7-11 minutes
Time Cap: 14 minutes
Primary Objective: Maintain strategic sets on Bar Muscle-Ups, unbroken reps on the shoulder to overhead and consistent pacing throughout the burpee box jump overs.
Secondary Objective: Limit transition times to keep the intensity high throughout.
Stimulus: High-skill gymnastics meets barbell power output.
RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion): 8-9/10 – A hard push from the start, with a full send-mode on the round of 5.
Workout Strategy
Pacing Plan:
Bar Muscle-Ups (9-7-5)
Goal: Unbroken or quick sets (e.g., 5-4, 4-3, 3-2).
If grip is an issue, limit to short, intentional breaks.
Explosive kip & smooth transitions to conserve pulling strength.
Shoulder to Overhead (9-7-5)
Push Jerks recommended to save shoulders.
Ideally unbroken, but a quick break (6-3, 4-3) if needed.
The bar comes down efficiently—don’t waste time resetting.
Burpee Box Jump Overs (9-7-5)
Controlled but aggressive pace—fast down & up but consistent jump mechanics.
Step forward out of the burpee to minimize extra movement.
Keep transitions snappy—no standing around!
Potential Pitfalls:
Bar Muscle-Up Fatigue – Avoid redlining early. If the grip gets sketchy, break before failure.
Slow Shoulder-to-Overhead Transitions – Get under the bar ASAP after muscle-ups.
Burpee Box Jump Overs Hesitation – Set a steady rhythm & stick to it—don’t slow down after the first set.
Resting Too Much Between Movements – Transition fast—the real time loss happens here.
