Scaling: Amanda

"Amanda"

For Time:
9-7-5
Snatch (135)
Muscle Up

Volume: 21reps (low)
Modality: Weightlifting, Gymnastic
Skill: Stamina, Power, Accuracy, Coordination, Balance
Time to Beat: 2010 CrossFit Games (video)
Standards: CrossFit Snatch (video), CrossFit Snatch Instruction-Burgener (video), Jerry Hill's Crossfit Tip: Muscle Up 101 (video), The Muscle Up-CF Journal (pdf)

These two high-skill movements make for a very challenging workout. There's only a small percentage of athletes that can complete this workout under 5 minutes.
The accuracy and balance of the snatch and the stamina and coordination needed for the muscle up make it nearly impossible.
