“Queen Kong”

3 Rounds:

1 Deadlift @ 365/275
2 Bar Muscle-ups
3 Squat Cleans @ 275/185

Stimulus

Aim for a heavy deadlift and clean (around 85%) and select gymnastics movements that are very challenging for a low volume of reps. This will likely be a slow workout so take your time and socialize :)
