EMOM 20 (5 Rounds)

Min 1. 1 Squat Clean + 2 Front squats + 1-3 Ring Muscle Ups

Min 2. 12 Alternating Back Lunges 35/50# KB in front Rack position

Min 3. 12 T2B

Min 4. 8-10 HSPU / Pike Push-Ups

There’s a bit of a technical aspect for athletes on this on to add 1-3 ring muscle ups or dips right after the clean + squats. The clean & squats will need to be slightly lighter than if there were no muscle ups shared in the minute. Newer athletes SHOULD NOT ADD THE DIPS and only focus on the clean & squats… The back lunges should be unbroken and T2B only one break if needed. The number of handstand pushups should be scaled so that people with kipping handstand push ups get 20-30 seconds rest and pike pushups get about 40 seconds of rest since the shoulder work is strict and takes longer to recover from the muscular fatigue.
