Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 handstand push-ups
10 single-leg squats, alternating
15 pull-ups
Each of these sets of exercises are difficult for most of us to complete, let alone maintain for 20 minutes. Modify them back to something that is hard, but doable for at least a few rounds. Elevated incline push-ups, deficit push-ups, single-leg step-ups, elevated lunges, banded pull-ups, jumping pull-ups, etc., are all good options.
Aim for 10 rounds.

30 muscle-ups
Simply put, the muscle-up is moving from hanging below rings to supported above them. Coach Glassman first posed the challenge of 30 reps for time in June of 2002, then followed up that November with his article describing the exercise in detail.
Later, the drive for maximizing power output within workouts brought the rise of the “kipping pull-up,” which naturally led to its counterpart on the rings, the “kipping muscle-up.”
Today we want you working the strict muscle-up, focussing on a strong false grip and control through the transition.
