This workout will be grip-tastic with the best of both worlds, gymnastics meets barbell!
You will have an overwhelming sense of awesomeness, functional fitness and accomplishment after giving your best effort in this workout!
Duration and Feel: Try to make it to the third set of front squats and maybe bar muscle-ups, it won’t be easy. This workout will pump the forearms up and will get the lungs burning, enjoy the 21.3 and 21.4 ride!
Barbell Weight: Pick a barbell weight that is moderate. A weight you could do 12-15 unbroken thrusters while fresh, think “Fran” weight. You should only need to break the sets of front squats and thrusters up 1-2 times. Plan on making 3-4 attempts through the barbell complex. Start with a moderate weight you know for sure you can knock out. Then add 10-20lbs each set depending on how you are feeling.
Specific warm-up focus: Barbell warm-up, hip openers, pull-up bar overview and scaling options. Complex overview and warm-up.
Scaling Options: Lighter weight on barbell. Scale toes to bar –> knees to elbows –> knees to chest –> v-ups. Scale chest to bar pull-ups –> chin over the bar pull-ups –> jumping pull-ups –> ring rows. Scale bar muscle-ups –> jumping bar muscle-ups –> chest to bar pull-ups –> chin above the bar pull-ups –>jumping pull-ups–> ring rows.
At Home Options: Do dumbbell goblet squats for front squats, do single arm dumbbell thrusters for barbell thrusters (7 on one arm, 8 on the other), do dumbbell bent over rows in place of all pulling movements (15 each arm). For the complex, do as many rounds as possible of a single arm dumbbell deadlift + dumbbell power clean + dumbbell hang power clean + dumbbell jerk, alternate arms each time through the complex
