For muscle ups, unbroken is staying on rings or bar and not necessarily fluid movement.

If I can give you one piece of advice that proves you are ready for this group, it is the importance of mobility work, tissue smashing, rolling out, icing, eating enough, sleeping enough, etc. Especially now that we are doing so much volume strength and gymnastics work. Take care of your body. Spend some quality time on a foam or PVC roller around the rhomboids, lats, and traps everyday!!!!

3-position clean (floor, below knee, above knee) + jerk - 60%, 65%, 70%, 75% x 3 sets, rest as needed between sets

Front Squat - 5 sets of 3 reps @ 75%, rest 2-3 min b/w

Team Conditioning

Continue adding 2 reps to the thrusters each interval until you are not able.

I've made some changes to the organization of workouts during the week to better reflect the overall volume of exercises and recovery. Nothing changed today from yesterday but you will see that I took Wednesday's gymnastic work and moved it to Thursday as well as the push jerk work. Hopefully, this will help better spread things out. This way, we can condition on Wednesdays and with all the other stuff we have to get in, it shouldn't take more than an hour.

Power Clean - 5 sets of 3 @ 75%, rest 90 seconds b/w
Overhead Squat - 5 sets of 3 @ 75%, rest 2 min b/w

3 sets, no rest:
20 glute ham sit ups
5 Good mornings (at least 135/95 if not much heavier)

5 calories on rower as fast as possible
5 calories on rower very slow
10 rounds 

Really push it on the sprints and try to get 1 stroke per calorie but on the slow calories, take 3-4 strokes to reach a calorie.

Pull ups, rest 1 minute, hspu, rest 1 minute x 5 sets
For those that need to, either choose a D) option of 3-5 reps but also realize that you can use an orange band to help with the higher volume kipping c2b and teaching mechanics needed.

Great first day. Remember to stay on top of smashing muscles and mobilizing joints. It's always a race. Which will happen first, getting all the gainz or getting hurt? Sometimes, it's out of our control but most often, it is completely within our control. Stay on top of warming up, cooling down, and recovery work. Remember, mobility work is not warming up. Warming up is dynamic in nature and should mimic the day's prescribed work, both generally and specifically.

Power Clean - 5 sets of 3 at 70%, rest 90 seconds b/w
Overhead Squats - 5 sets of 3 at 70%, rest 2 min b/w

5 sets, no rest:
10-15 glute ham sit ups
10-12 superman rocks

Fifteen rounds, each for time of:
Sprint 100 meters
Walk 100 meters

Really push it on the sprints. If possible, start to finish line should be a straight line and flat. A track is optimal. Walk slow to ensure that you are close to full speed on sprints.

The start of new competitor programming. This programming is 8 weeks long. We will minimize your conditioning in favor of speed, strength, power, and gymnastics prowess.

If you cannot complete these workouts, stick to class programming. Quintin does a fantastic job and you will still improve. I'm only removing conditioning in order to maximize the above traits.

If you follow this programming, you are expected not to condition on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, or Sundays. There is running/rowing on Tuesdays and Thursdays and there will be team conditioning on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The rest of the days, just lift hard and recover. It's only 8 weeks. You'll be alright.

A. 3 - position snatch (floor, below knee, above knee) - 60%, 65%, 70% x 4 sets, rest as needed between sets

This is 3 snatches, 1 from each position, at 60%, rest, same at 65%, rest, and finally same for 4 sets at 70%, resting between each set.

B. Back Squat - 5 sets of 5 at 70%, rest 3 minute b/w
C. Push Press - 5 sets of 5 at 70%, rest 2-2.5 min b/w

D1. Chest to Bar Pull ups
A) x 15 reps
B) x 11 reps
C) x 7 reps
super set w/
D2. Handstand Push ups
A) x 20 reps
B) x 16 reps
C) x 10 reps

Choose a, b, or c from pull ups and a, b, or c from hspu and stick with for duration of 8 weeks. You will be progressed accordingly.
For gymnastics, do a set of unbroken pull ups, rest 1 minute, a set of unbroken hspu, rest 1 minute x 5 sets
Do not come off the bar or the set is nullified. For hspu, choose to do strict or kipping and/or use c rep scheme and work every week with a small deficit. Make it work for your needs but stay consistent from week to week.
