INITIAL THOUGHTS

To scale or not to scale? If you are close to getting a ring muscle up, this could be the time that you get it! We’ll be working on muscle ups during class on Friday so it may make sense for you to go to class & then crush this workout later. That said, you must be realistic about your current skill level, if you are not close, go Scaled and enjoy 928 reps of fitness! Another option would be to ‘try’ RX and then do the workout again Scaled on Sunday (or Monday). Decisions decisions.

Redos – if you get deep into this workout, you are going to have sore calves. Very sore calves. My suggestion is one and done.

If you have an extra jump rope, keep it nearby – ropes break, have an extra on hand

If double unders gas you, be smart about your breaks – 40/35/25 or 50/50 could mean the difference between staying composed and redlining and will likely only ‘cost’ you 5-10 seconds in time

Know where your strengths lie – know where you can push the pace a bit / go for bigger sets and know where you need to conserve. 14min is not a sprint, have a plan.

Don’t freak out - You are probably going to trip on double unders, it’s ok. Clipping your feet or taking a short break will not take up too much time as long as you are diligent & get back at it right away. Keep calm and jump on

Breathe – I say this every week but there are a few movements that people tend to hold their breath or breathe a little shallower than normal – this movements include, but are not limited to, double unders, overhead squats, muscle ups/pull-ups & DB snatches . . . that’s weird, all of those are in this workout.
