3 rounds, resting 2 minutes per round

  • 9 x Pullups
  • 12 x Dips

Then 3 rounds of

  • 8 x TRX Reverse Rows
  • 8-10 x TRX Tricep Extensions

Then accumulate

  • 25 x Jumping Bar Muscle Ups / Bar Muscle Up Transitions

Then as finisher

  • Run 5k

Results: Pullups 9-9-8. Dips 12-12-12. Jumping Muscle Ups worked better than I expected. Started with a high step and was able to reduce it down to just 3 risers once I got the transition down. Saved the run for later in the day so there was about a 5 hour pause between the gymnastics session and the run.
