16.3

This week, it’s all about the bar muscle-up and this is the first time we’ve seen this movement in the Open.

Don’t forget…

  • Review the standards (video and text) below and decide if you will go Rx or scaled.
  • Write your name under your desired workout time when you enter the gym.
  • Scaled athletes: When isn’t performing the workout, find what bar you will do your pull-ups from and measure 6″ from the top of your head to the bar. Use mats or a box to elevate yourself to the correct height. Having this done BEFORE your heat will save lots of time.
  • Ask questions in the briefing.
  • Get a good warm-up! Get your shoulders loose, your heart rate up, and prep the two movements.
  • Be ready to go when your heat is called.
  • If you want to talk individual strategy, grab one of the coaches.

Good luck!

Workout of the Day
Open Workout 16.3

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:
10 power snatches
3 bar muscle-ups

Men use 75 lb.
Women use 55 lb.

Notes
This workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will perform 10 power snatches, then move to the pull-up bar to perform

muscle-ups. After 3 reps, the athlete will move back to the barbell and begin their next round.

Your score will be the total number of repetitions completed within the 7-minute time cap.

Tiebreak
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of each round, time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field in which

you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed your last full round. In the case where 2 athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be ranked higher.

Note: All tiebreak times must be reported in elapsed time, not in time remaining. If you are using a countdown timer, you must convert to elapsed time before reporting your score. For this reason, it is recommended you set your clock to count up.

Equipment
• Barbell
• Plates to load to the appropriate weight for your division
• Collars
• Pull-up bar

For each workout, be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete the workout. Clear the area of all extra equipment, people or other obstructions.

*The official weight is in pounds. For your convenience, the minimum acceptable weights in kilograms are 34 kg (75 lb.), 29 kg (65 lb.), 25 kg (55

lb.), 20 kg (45 lb.), and 15 kg (35 lb.).

Video Submission Standards
Prior to starting, film the plates and barbell to be used so the loads can be seen clearly. All video submissions should be uncut and unedited in order to accurately display the performance. A second person with a stopwatch should be in the frame throughout the entire workout. Shoot the video from an angle so all exercises can be clearly seen meeting the movement

standards.
