Today, we are introducing a new skill: the muscle-up. After achieving pull-ups and ring dips, this is the next progression.

eight rounds for time:
25x squat
5x muscle-up

If you do not have a muscle-up, substitute four times (each) the number of pull-ups and dips. For example, if the workout calls for sets of five muscle-ups, substitute sets of 20 pull-ups and 20 dips.

    Team,

    The scaling for this workout will arrive via decreasing the number of rounds. We will likely be taking two rounds off per scaling attempt. We are going to work hard to get everyone through at least six rounds.

    I did assisted dips and kipping pull-ups in place of muscle-ups. I achieved good depth on all of my squats. I stopped after round 7, because I tore a callouse on my hand. My overall time was 37:12. Jeff W.
