Spend 15 minutes working on Handstands

Then inspired by the 2023 Crossfit Games Semifinal Workout #2…

AMRAP in 3 minutes

  • 5 x Ring Muscle Up from Floor plus Ring Dip*
  • 10 x Alternating Pistol Squats (5 per leg)
  • Max Toes to Bar

Rest 1 minute then AMRAP in 3 minutes

  • 5 x Ring Muscle Up from Floor plus Ring Dip*
  • 10 x Alternating Pistol Squats (5 per leg)
  • Max Toes to Bar

Rest 1 minute then AMRAP in 3 minutes

  • 1 x Ring Muscle Up from Floor plus Ring Dip*
  • 10 x Alternating Pistol Squats (5 per leg) (use assistance as needed… plate and/or counter weight)
  • Max Toes to Bar (break as needed)

* For the Muscle Up plus Dip…. seated on the floor do a single Ring Muscle Up followed by a single Dip, return to floor and repeat for 5 reps total.

Then EMOM for 7 minutes (21 reps total)

  • 3 x Weighted Ring Pullups @ 10kg

Results: For the hand stands did 3 rounds of 30 second holds against the wall, one 30 second frog stand and the some trys at free standing holds ((8-10 seconds max). Metcon worked out perfectly… 20-10-8 Toes to Bar each round. No issues with the Muscle Ups or Pistols using a 25lb plate under my heel.
