WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Good ol’ benchmark day! It’s been 1.5 years since we last did this Hero workout, so let’s see some PRs! The muscle ups are designed to be on the rings, however bar muscle ups, or any difficult upper-body-pulling movements are great alternatives. Do the handstand push ups and kettlebell swings unbroken as long as possible. If you’re proficient at these movements, target a round per minute! If you’re working on your high skill gymnastics, target 8-10 rounds.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Two weeks ago we had a similar workout structure where we increased in weight every four rounds. Well, it was so fun, we’re doing it again but this time every three! In eighteen minutes, run the 200 meters like a “rest”, so not a sprint but more your 5k pace. The first three rounds of the workout, use a light weight for the snatches and do them unbroken. The next three rounds, do the snatches in sets of 3-4 reps, and the next three rounds you could do single reps! Target 7 rounds.

WOD GUIDANCE & GOALS
Dumbbells!! Choose a weight for the shoulder to overhead (press, push press or push jerk), and the hang power cleans that you can cycle for at least 5 reps before having to rest. Purposefully, break both dumbbell movements in sets of 5-10 reps to save your shoulders for the chest to bars. Chest to bars (or YOUR upper body pulling movement) either do in big sets (10 reps) or chip away in 3-5. Spend no more than :90-2:00 on any of the movements. The sit ups, move quickly and throw your arms forward to make up time for other movements. Try to go unbroken. For the entire workout, target sub 15 minutes.
