Time Domain: 15-20min
Time Cap: 25min
Stimulus: Full-Body Chipper / Gymnastics Capacity Under Volume
RPE: 8.5–9/10
Primary Objective: Manage gymnastics volume, particularly Toes-to-Bar and Ring Muscle-Ups. Pick smart sets here and tackle in a way that allows for the most consistency round to round.
Secondary Objective: Look to hold the row, wall balls, and double unders as close to 1 minute per station as possible.
Workout Strategy:
This is a high-volume gymnastics test mixed with a full body interference style chipper. Pacing matters across all three rounds, especially in how athletes approach transitions between skill elements.
Start each round with a controlled but strong row. The workout is not won on the row and holding back a bit here to manage grip and midline fatigue will be key for the best result in the workout. For the Toes-to-Bar, break early to avoid blow-up. Think quick sets of 9-9 or 6-6-6 to stay ahead of grip and midline fatigue.
Double Unders are your reset—stay relaxed and unbroken if possible. Wall Balls should be completed in 1–2 sets (16-8 or 14-10), but not at the cost of blowing up before the ring muscle-ups. If needed, doing quick sets of 8 here to manage volume before Muscle-Ups is not a bad option.
Ring Muscle-Ups are the crux of the workout. Athletes should know their current capacity. The goal here should be to have a set plan of 5-4/ 4-3, 3-3-3/ 3-2-2, or even quick singles in the later rounds for those that need to manage the fatigue even further.

Coaching Notes, Strategy, and Goals
Goals: 8-10 Kettlebell Swings / set, 6-8 Burpees / set
Stimulus: Sprint-Style Output / Muscular Endurance & Breathing Control
RPE: 9/10
Primary Objective: Sustain high-effort sets across all 8 rounds without major drop-off
Secondary Objective: Maintain clean kettlebell swing mechanics and fast burpee cycle speed
Workout Strategy:
This piece blends two high-output movements into quick sprints with short rest periods. The kettlebell swings should be performed unbroken every round—control the hip drive, and keep the bell above the head without overextending. Breathe intentionally at the top of each rep.
The burpees are where athletes tend to fade. Focus on finding a consistent rhythm, it doesn’t need to be frantic, but it should be steady and aggressive. Work to find a style of burpee that allows for continuous movement and limited drop off. This could mean jumping back then stepping up, rebounding, or step back and hop up on the burpee. But, the overall goal here is to maintain a burpee rate that is faster than 1 rep every 3 sec.
The :10 rest intervals will feel short and allow just enough time to get reset for the next movement and tackle them with full intensity.
Movement Modifications:

Burpees: Elevated Burpees (hands on plate) or No Push-Up Burpees

Kettlebell Swings: Reduce to Russian Swings and / or Lighter Loads
