Why do I have to choose for myself? Knowing yourself as an athlete (strength and weaknesses) is essential for your long term success in the game. Today’s work will be an opportunity for you to consider this and to make the skill work specific to your needs.
But how do I know what to do? Choose the movements from the list(s) above based on what you need to (not just want to) work on the most. Choose both the load and repetitions so that you are working at the edge of your ability to move well. See further tips below.
Loading (for barbell movements). Choose a load as heavy as allows you to move well (your best form possible today) and complete all the reps in one unbroken set each round.
Repetitions. Choose a number of repetitions that allows you to complete all the work in one unbroken set each round.

Example.
1) 6 Ring muscle-ups
2) 8 Push jerks @ 70kg (155lbs)
3) 14 Single-leg squats, alternating
4) REST
