JOINT PREP/MOVEMENT WORK
Joint Prep and Movement Work:
Testing- brachiation
rolling warm up - pike, straddle, butterfly, straddle up, roll to squat x 5 reps/each movement

Muscle ups x 2-5 reps (development). Some of you should do 1/4 muscle ups x 4 sets; rest 3 min

A1. pulling x 4 sets
Ring rows x 4-5 reps @ 31x3
chin ups x 2-4 reps @ 31x1
pull ups x 2-4 reps @ 31x1

A2. Vertical pushing x 4 sets
