Wednesday 4/17

CF TEST 1
3-5 rounds to ramp up to a 1RM bench press and within :30 begin the pullups. Any grip is allowed as long as the range of motion is complete. Scoring: Multiply the bench press by the number of pullups completed. Scaling: Jumping c2b pullups or ring rows

CF TEST 3
tabata air squats by 4:00 of muscle-ups

After the eighth Tabata Squat interval the athlete gets ten more seconds of rest and then has 4 minutes to complete as many muscle-ups as possible. The muscle-ups need not be consecutive, i.e., without rest. All squats must be from below parallel to full extension of the hip and leg. Scoring: the Tabata Squat score (weakest number of squats in each of eight intervals of twenty seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest) multiplied by the number of muscle-ups completed within four minutes. Total time for test: 8 minutes. Modifications: With regard to the muscle-up, there are two possibilities for adaptation. One is to assist manually – someone pushing the athlete up. The other is to replace the muscle-up with
four minutes of pull-ups and dips.
