CrossFit Gymnastics Volume Week Cap
CrossFit gymnastics volume week cap totals kipping and bar skill reps against a weekly ceiling—exceeding cap without recovery invites elbow and palm setbacks.
CrossFit gymnastics volume week cap totals kipping pull-ups, toes-to-bar, muscle-up attempts, and bar muscle-up drills into a weekly ceiling—often individualized from strict baselines, not generic RX charts. Exceeding cap without added sleep and protein invites elbow tendinopathy and torn hands.
Cap includes warm-up kip practice, not only WOD reps. Deload weeks cut cap fifty percent.
Pair with rowing or bike to keep conditioning while grips rest.
