RING MUSCLE UP WORKOUTS – 7. Nate Hero WOD
AMRAP in 20 Minutes
- 2 Ring Muscle-Ups
- 4 Handstand Push-Ups
- 8 Kettlebell Swings (2/1.5 pood)
Pace yourself from the beginning, as you creep towards the later rounds of the workout your shoulders will start burning, especially after the kettlebell swings and handstand push-ups.
Give yourself time to recover but keep your breaks short and efficient.
8. AIRBORNE
20 Minute AMRAP
- 400 meter Weighted Run (30 lb)
- 5 Ring Muscle-Ups
Only the run is weighted in this workout, you can drop the vest for the muscle-ups.
9. Amanda
9-7-5 Reps for Time:
- Ring Muscle-Ups
- Squat Snatches (135/95 lbs)
Amanda is one of the CrossFit Girl WODs, used over time to assess an athlete’s progress.
With two highly technical movements – the gymnastics movement of the muscle-up and the Olympic lift movement of the squat snatch – and low rep volume, the Amanda workout is one of the more complex and challenging CrossFit workouts.
This workout is designed to be a sprint, so perfecting your technique for a strong base will help you with efficiency and speed.
