INTENDED STIMULUS
Today is an opportunity for athletes to work on higher gymnastics skills under fatigue.
Athletes should try and use a higher box that allows them to complete 5 to 10 reps every :30.
The number of muscle-ups performed will vary based on the individual’s skill set, but the athlete should be able to perform at least 1 rep each minute.
Perform a muscle-up progression that covers the majority of the scaling options for today’s workout. During this time, there could be an opportunity for an athlete to attempt their first muscle-up.
If an athlete can’t successfully perform a muscle-up in the warm-up, then they shouldn’t be attempting them in the workout. Instead, they should put effort into a scaling option that will best carry over to them performing a muscle-up. Today is not the day to try and fail over and over.

Target reps | 100+ Reps
Today’s workout is intended to focus on working a high skill under some moderate fatigue. Some athletes will perform the muscle-up, while others will use a skill that works towards the muscle-up.
Athletes doing muscle-ups should be able to get at least 1 rep each minute. If an athlete isn’t confident they can do that, have them perform a challenging skill that gets them closer to the muscle-up.
Have athletes proficient in the muscle-up perform sustainable sets. These athletes should look to perform 2-3 sets a minute with 5-10 reps at a time. Athletes scaling the muscle-up should select a skill that will allow them to perform more than 1 rep each minute so they can spend more time accumulating reps to get better at the movement.
Athletes should look to get 5-10 box jumps every:30. Every athlete should push pretty hard during the :30 given that they get :30 of rest before the muscle-ups.
