Get ready to test your grit in class today! This classic three-round benchmark mixes bodyweight volume, high-skill gymnastics, and moderate-to-heavy barbell cycling. It’s a guaranteed barn-burner!

💡 Coach’s Tip: If you are scaling the muscle-ups today, opt for a challenging progression like a low-ring jumping muscle-up. This allows you to practice the transition and ring mechanics while keeping your cycle rate steady.
