  • Aim to walk each segment as fast as possible

  • This can be Assault bike/Row/Ski erg/Bike erg/Jog, you can stay with the same modality for all 2-minute segments OR change around as wanted.

Be conscious of your hands on the ring MUs, wear grips and don’t push sets to a point where you might tear.

Flow. You’ll do all 2 to 3 rounds of a single movement, before moving to the next. (i.e. you’ll do 2-3 x 2-min monostructural + 2-min Ring muscle-ups BEFORE moving to 2-3x 2-min monostructural + 2-min TTBs etc.)

Number of rounds. Choose based on how your body is feeling. You can do 2 rounds on some movements and 3 on others (consider also, which movements do you need to work on the most).

Intent. Your aim is to accumulate as many excellent repetitions as possible.

Note. There is no additional rest between the parts, this is a continuous 32 to 48-minute effort
