Complete 3 sets of each:

1 Embedded L-sit  + 5 Tempo Russian Dips

1 Embedded BL + 5 Tempo Half Reverse MU

1 Embedded FL + 5 Tempo Straddle V-ups

 

Finish the workout with 10 Bridge Wall Walk

 

notes:

1) Warm-up by performing 2-3 easier Curl/Dip variations prior to beginning your working sets.  The variations used should initially begin with one that is quite easy and then get progressively more difficult from warm-up set to warm-up set.

2) Choose a body position for the embedded static strength variation that allows you to hold the position for 15 seconds per rep.  

3) Rest 10-20 seconds between the embedded static and the subsequent exercise.  Rest 1-2 minutes in between giant sets.

4) Use a tempo of 213 for the basic strength sets. 

5) This is a maximal bent arm strength day, do not be timid in increasing the intensity; add weight as needed to make the exercises very challenging for the rx’d repetitions.

6) However also feel free to scale the workout by substituting another exercise from the same movement family if necessary. 

7) DO NOT skip the Bridge Wall Walks at the end of the Workout.

If I don't have access to parallel bars for the russian dips would a good sub be to do muscle ups from the top lowering to just under the transition and then back up?

If you are already fairly strong at MU, yes.

Quick form question: should the half reverse muscle-up be performed with elbows in front of the torso or behind it?
