Specific Ring Muscle-Up Prep
Gymnastics Skill: Ring Muscle-Up Progression
Set 1 -- Establish false grip in rings, 3-5 slow ring rows with false grip, pause at sternum and feel the lat engagement, then 3-5 jumping transitions from below the rings to support. Then add in Ring Support Holds and Bottom of Ring Dip Holds
Set 2 -- 3-5 low ring banded or low ring muscle-up transitions, pause 2 seconds in support at the top, coach the turnover and elbow drive past the rings
Set 3 -- 3 controlled attempts at the current progression level -- low ring options, strict pull-ups + dips, kipping drill for those building -- confirm positions are clean before the skill block opens
This is a 12-minute structured skill block. Coaches facilitate athletes through the progression that matches their current capacity. Beginners work strict ring row transitions and low ring jumping ring dips to support. Intermediate athletes develop kipping timing on the low rings and the pull-to-press connection. Advanced athletes refine efficiency and consistency working to better mechanics. The progression moves from strict to kipping and from low rings to high rings -- athletes should not skip steps to get to the "real" version. Mechanics first.

Specific Split Jerk Prep
Set 1 -- Empty bar x 3-5 Split Jerk, coaching the dip-drive and landing position, pause 2 seconds in catch each rep
Set 2 -- 4 Split Jerks @ 40-50%, focus on foot landing timing and overhead lockout
Set 3 -- 3 Split Jerks @ 60-65% , building toward opening working weight, confirm footwork is dialed
Primer (After the Split Jerk)
3-4 Sets:
3 Back Squats building to opening weight
8 Wall Balls at prescribed weight and target height
Use this to confirm load and wall ball standard before Love Seat begins.
Split Jerk (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)
Athletes should approach the final one to two sets feeling challenged, but technically sound. A true 3RM here is around 85%, with five to ten pounds still available. Do not chase numbers at the expense of positioning -- a missed rep or a soft lockout is a signal to hold the weight, not add more.
Modifications:
Level 1: 3 Pause Split Jerk per set -- one second pause in the dip, three second hold in the catch. Reduce loading to 60-70% and prioritize foot placement and lockout quality over weight on the bar.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell Push Press x 5 reps, heavy, building across sets. Focus on a vertical press path and controlled descent.

Record Notes on Wall Balls
Goals: Finish on 5th set at 80% for the Back Squat and hold unbroken wall balls across all 5 minutes
Stimulus: Absolute Strength + Strength Endurance
RPE: 7.5/10
Primary Objective: Maintain unbroken back squats across all five sets with consistent speed on the concentric and control on the eccentric -- no grinding.
Secondary Objective: Sustain wall ball mechanics through fatigue -- elbows under the ball, full depth, and every rep hitting the target.
