Kind of a lot for a Monday! But remember, these workouts are programmed for the best and scaled for the “Rest” (i.e. you and I). It’s not expected that most people will be able to bust out 125 pull-ups in any reasonable time frame, but within about a 15 minute time frame how much of this is reasonable for you to do? Maybe three rounds? Maybe 5 rounds of 15? Maybe some other variant that makes sense to you (ultimately the coaches have the call) is really what we’re after.
The Workout:
5 Rounds for Time of:
25 Wall Balls Shots 20-10’/14-9′
25 Pull-ups
We’re always looking to make strong squatters, and stronger pull-ups. Workouts like this fit the bill perfectly. If you can squat fast, deep and with extra weight you are very very fit compared to “regular” people. If you can do 1 pull-up, nevermind how, you are in the top 1% as far as pull-up power is concerned for sure. By top 1% I mean, grab 100 people off the street and make them try a pull-up, you think you’ll get more than one person who can do one? I sure don’t. It’s a great lifetime goal for many athletes. So we scale the pull-up, doing things that will eventually get us to the pull-up is the key!
