Overview. These pieces are all about gymnastics capacity under fatigue. The first two parts alternate rowing with a single skill, bar muscle-ups first, then strict HSPUs. Each piece builds localized fatigue while allowing a reset between rounds. The final triplet brings both movements together without the row, challenging your ability to manage interference, pacing, and skill execution under pressure. This is not a sprint but all about consistency.
Strategy. On the first 3-round piece, row at a hard but repeatable pace (~85%) so you can hit the BMUs in as few sets as possible (1-3 sets ideally). Don’t go to failure, think of repeatability. In part two, use the row to reset before strict HSPUs. Break early and often (e.g. 5s, 3s) to protect shoulder stamina, once you start failing reps here, it’s hard to recover.
In the final part, open conservatively and aim for quick, efficient sets on both movements. The movements will feel heavier at this point. Focus on clean reps, short rests, and smart transitions. This piece is more mental than it looks, trust your skill on both movements. .
Instructions. Set the rower close (but safe distance away from) to the pull up rig. Aim to keep the transitions short and have chalk ready.
Debrief. Take 2–3 minutes after the workout to reflect
