Ring muscle up

Today’s workout is a take on a classic CrossFit Hero workout Nate. Typically, you are trying to complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 20 minutes. Some might say the clock saves you. However, today, the goal is to get through 10 rounds as quickly as possible. The kettlebell loading should be moderate and allow you to go unbroken through your sets. Athletes performing this workout as prescribed should aim to complete a round in 2 minutes or less. Review the last time we performed Nate to help you choose appropriate options for today’s effort.
