Notes: Rest between sets should be a minimum of 1:00 between efforts. Deadhang Pull-ups should be banded/modded to assisted negatives if applicable (athletes are encouraged to play around with width of Pull-up/Chin-up grip). Rope Climb ascents are with leg assist if necessary (L-sit Legless Rope Climbs for those out there feeling a bit frisky today). Deadhang Muscle-up sets are two repetitions each with turn-out from support position at the top of the Dip as well as with turn-out (salute) at the bottom of the start position (with false grip).
Muscle-ups (CFGS) are without a false grip, athletes should attempt to string together every increasing multiple rep sets if possible (development of the kip as well as proper shoulder girdle strength are paramount for athletes selecting this option).
