“Neat”
AMRAP 15:
3 Bar Muscle-Ups
6 Deadlifts 225 / 155 lb
9/7 Calorie Assault Bike
Stimulus
– Conditioning Category: Threshold
– The 3 bar muscle-ups should be completed unbroken every round. Reduce the reps or modify the movement if needed. This station should take under :20s.
– The weight on the barbell should be something you can complete the 6 deadlifts in 1-2 sets every round. This station should take under :30s.
– The bike should take under :45s.
– Athletes can expect to complete between 7-10 rounds.
– Score: Rounds + Reps
Strategy
THE BIG TAKEAWAYS
1. We want to aim to complete the bar muscle-ups unbroken every round. Focus on getting the hips high and pressing down hard on the bar.
2. The deadlifts are at weight where we could probably hold on for unbroken sets, however, 2 sets may be more sustainable with how many rounds we are likely to complete in this workout. 2 sets may also help in managing grip and shoulder fatigue for the bar muscle-ups.
3. Find a steady pace on the bike. No need to rush through this station. We want to be able to get off and get right back to work on the bar muscle-ups.
