Today's workout is from MetFix Misfit Gym in Windham, Maine.
"This is my kettlebell. There are many like it, but this one is mine."
— Matthew Sherburne, MetFix Misfit Gym
Coach Sherburne emphasizes the volume of reps here, 250 total, and cautions athletes to choose a kettlebell wisely, aiming to finish in less than 25 minutes (10 reps / minute.)
See more →For load:
Clean and jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
"The benefits of weightlifting do not end with strength, speed, power and flexibility. The clean and jerk and the snatch both develop coordination, agility, accuracy and balance and to no small degree. Both of these lifts are as nuanced and challenging as any movement in all of sport. Moderate competency in the Olympic lifts confers added prowess to any sport."
—Greg Glassman
For Time:
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.
