Ring Muscle-ups and Back-Squats

June 08, 20241 min read

This Saturday's workout is a short but intense session. It's an 8-minute AMRAP consisting of 4 ring muscle-ups and 8 back squats.

If you haven't mastered the ring muscle-up yet, substitute with your most challenging pull-up progression, whether that's strict chest-to-bar pull-ups or a difficult horizontal ring row. Since the skill of the month for June is double-unders, we've added a second 8-minute workout to give you plenty of practice with them.

See you all in group classes, on the zoom, or in the open gym.

Cheers,
Big Cat
