Abs Workouts – Saturday 181229

On a 12-minute clock:

  • 1 minute of GHD sit-ups
  • 1 minute of bar muscle-ups
  • 2 minutes of GHD sit-ups
  • 2 minutes of bar muscle-ups
  • 3 minutes of GHD sit-ups
  • 3 minutes of bar muscle-ups

Scaling
You have a total of 6 minutes to perform each movement, and the volume will demand rest breaks—especially in intervals 4-6. Select modifications that force you to work relatively hard for each rep of the pulling movement, and modify the core work so you do not have to take long rest breaks. The GHD sit-up is potent: Avoid large increases in volume over previous workouts or sub out for sit-ups.

Intermediate Option

  • 1 minute of GHD sit-ups to parallel
