Coaching Progressions
Today's skill block is dedicated time to develop bar muscle-up mechanics for every athlete in the room. The progressions are not just for beginners: banded and jumping variations give athletes a feel for the timing of the transition, and the low bar progression lets everyone drill the pull-to-push with load support before taking it to full height. Coaching attention should land on the hip drive initiating the pull, the aggressive chest-over-bar transition, and a strong lockout at the top. Athletes who already have bar muscle-ups should use this time to work on cycling efficiency and consistent kip timing rather than chasing singles. Keep everyone purposeful, every rep has a point, and every athlete should leave this block more confident in the movement than when they arrived.
Bar Muscle-Up Tips: Drive the hips aggressively into the bar, keep the kip tight and controlled, and commit to the push-away at the top rather than hanging in the transition. Athletes who stall in the transition are typically pulling too late or not using the hip drive to initiate. Prioritize one clean rep over multiple sloppy attempts.
Modifications:
Spend the full block on banded or jumping variations from a lower bar, focusing on the transition mechanics and push-away.

We are tackling CrossFit Community Event 2 with this one today. Get ready for some fun and big lifts with the goal of establishing a new CrossFit Total at the start of the Hercules Cycle. Although the goal later in the cycle is to establish new 3RM's on the back squat and deadlift, this CrossFit Total gives us the baselines we need to build the next cycle's percentages from. Lock in your numbers, trust your prep, and go get after it.

For athletes not looking to challenge true maxes today, target 2-3 Sets x 5 Reps on each lift at an RPE of 7/10. This builds quality mechanics and gets in a strong strength day without pushing loading limits.
Loading Notes:
- Select an opener on each lift that feels fast and confident, approximately 85-90% of your anticipated max, and build from there across 2-3 additional attempts.
- Rest fully between heavy attempts, at minimum 3:00-4:00 between each single, and plan jump selection before the clock starts rather than guessing between sets.
- Manage fatigue deliberately across all three lifts; athletes who leave everything on the back squat will have very little left for the deadlift, which demands the same neural output and posterior chain endurance.
