Scaling Options:
- Scale the calories on the rower
- Push-ups instead of Handstand Push-Ups
Advice from our coaches:
Try to go at a moderate pace on the rower, so you can keep the gymnastics part as unbroken as possible. If it’s not possible to go unbroken, try going for two sets. In the last part try to keep one of the movements unbroken and break the other up as necessary.

Workout
“MYMC 22.1”

(Score is Rounds + Reps)
Advice from our coaches:
- Choose a weight and a height on the wall balls that would allow for 15-20 reps unbroken when fresh.
- Aim for 3-4 quick sets of pull-ups. Consider reducing the number to 15-18, or scaling to ring rows if you cannot maintain 22 reps.
- Keep a steady but firm pace on the bike. The goal is to get off the bike and back to the wall balls.

HIP MOBILITY AND SHOULDER MOBILITY CLINICS
With Josh Finley PT
The Hip clinic was a huge success! Check out what athletes had to say
Josh was thorough, professional, and demystified squat mobility by breaking it down into chewable chunks. I love a good intense hour of exercise at CFML but even without a metcon I found great value in the whole hour. I noticed a STARK difference in my squat after testing and mobilizing my posterior, I’ll be utilizing that at home! Thanks, Josh!
