Performance
10 Rounds for Time:
10 Russian Kettlebell Swings 32/24kg
3 Ring Muscle-Ups
The kettlebell should be on the heavy side for you but unbroken. Scale the Muscle-Ups to Jumping Muscle-Ups if you’re stable on the rings but don’t yet have Muscle-Ups. Setting the rings higher makes them more challenging, so set them as high as you’re able to.

Register Now For Starting Strength Program
The Starting Strength program is an opportunity to spend 8 weeks honing your technique and increasing your capacity at the most fundamental strength movements: Back Squat, Overhead Press, Bench Press and Deadlift. This small group format of 90 minute sessions offers one-on-one guidance, great camaraderie, and a simple roster of movements allowing you time to correct errors and challenge your limits.
Whether you are brand-new to lifting, someone with experience who has struggled to surpass a plateau, or just looking to try something different, by taking the time to focus exclusively on the lifts that support almost ever other activity you do inside (and outside) the gym, you will gain confidence and enhance your performance.
