Ring Muscle-ups and Handstand Walk
Today’s workout is a gymnastics endurance and stamina tester. If you do not have ring muscle-ups, our progression is 1 strict ring dip + 1 strict pull-up for one ring muscle-up. For the handstand walk progression, from a handstand hold, we will perform hand-to-hand movements mimicking walking but using the wall for assistance.
