08.30.2021 WORKOUT OF THE DAY

August 29, 2021

BLENDED GENERAL WARM-UP/SPECIFIC WARM-UP

FOCUS: Ring Muscle-Up – “Low From the Get-Go”
Ring Muscle-Ups are an exhibition of pulling and pushing strength as well as the coordination balance and accuracy we value as crossfitters. Today we will focus on staying stable through the transition from below the rings to above them. As coaches look for rings coming away from the body, shaking and the elbows straying away from the body. Getting and keeping our elbows and rings close to us will be easier if we set ourselves up for success. From the first pull if an athlete doesn’t pull the rings low enough on the sternum it becomes astronomically harder to transition to being above the rings. We’ll practice pulling low from the get go today and aim to be fast through the middle of our muscle-ups.
