Rumble, Stumble, & Tumble

12:00 AMRAP Row (calories; see below) 60ft Overhead Dumbbell Lunge ≤12 Bar Muscle-ups (See below)* 1 partner works at a time After one partner completes the row + lunge, they may choose to do the 3rd movement for extra points (up to a max of 12) If the athlete chooses to do the 3rd movement, there is no rep requirement to hit. Teammates may switch only once the full row and lunge are completed. Once athletes switch, the new working partner must start a fresh round (Row + Lunge before starting on the gymnastics movement) This format allows athletes who do not have the gymnastics skill required to still get a score and complete the "You go, I go" format style of the workout without hitting a brick wall.
