30 Muscle-Ups for Time PR? Nope…

My last PR for the good ol’ 30 Muscle-ups for time was 10 minutes. Maybe just a hair longer actually, but still not half bad. Now, there’s more strategy in the 30 muscle ups for time WOD than most others. It turns out that trying to bust out 30 as fast as possible leads to failure much earlier than if you pace yourself.
