I have a question regarding the effectivness of this workout at least as I performed it. It seems like doing 7 RFT of snatch and burpees or doing an amrap 7 then followed with stregth work on the muscle up wouldve been more effective. Any comments or recommendations?

The challenge in this WOD:

Can the CrossFiter perform a relatively difficult gymnastics move (in today's case = the muscle-up) after a quick sprint of a cardiovascularly stimulating / explosive Pull & Push.

i.e. Perform a tough strength move under duress resulting from the previous moves.

Is this a good/ bad challenge?
Is this a good/ bad way to build skill?
Is this an effective/ ineffective way to develop a MU?

Thoughts? Recommendations?

As Evan said, if the MU is scaled to a difficult 2-rep movement (i.e. band MU, push-up/pull-up combo) then the MU strength work will become part of the WOD. Thus, conditioning the athlete and building strength for a MU at the same time.

I think that it is a way to build the MU, but I didn't experience much conditioning due to the difficulty of the movement or as much strength work due to the small number of reps.

It is nice to have a variety in the work out pattern though.
