How many people will be working out today? Not as many as yesterday – maybe about half.
I’m anxious to hear which team won our challenges last week? Go Team White!!
Well, it was Team Blue – beat Team White by 1 point. Let’s go Team White on this last week!!
Great things take time!
GENERAL WARM-UP (~10:00)
1:30 Row or bike (bike)
1:00/1:00 stretch holding on to box
1:30 Row or bike (bike)
1:00/1:00 stretch – bend leg up and hold foot
1:00 stretch ab mat, put head down between arms
SKILL AND BUILD UP (~7:00)
pull-ups
Build-up (~4:00)
2 Sets
3 Strict pull-ups
used 2 black bands – Alicia got me to use only 1 but I can’t get anywhere near the bar with one – my arms just aren’t strong enough….
Notes Use a light load on the second set of pull-ups.
If not performing the strength session with load, utilize band assistance for both of these build-up sets.
STRENGTH/POWER
WEIGHTED STRICT PULL-UPS
Workout (~10:00)
Every 2:00 for 10:00 (5 sets)
5 strict pull-up (used black band for assistance – didn’t get very far my arms aren’t very strong)
Notes This is a classic 5×5 upper body pulling strength session.
Use a load or movement variation that makes 5 reps difficult to achieve unbroken.

WORKOUT (~10:00)
For time 7:14
500m Row (0.6 bike)
75 Double unders (125 singles)
50 Pull-ups (we did bent over dumbbell rows – I used 20# set db)
75 Double unders (125 singles)
Notes Perform the row at a moderate effort that allows for a fast transition to the double unders and does not impact the pull-ups to a high degree.
The double under volume is moderate and athletes are not intended to spend a ton of time (no more than ~2:00) on either set of 75 reps.
The placement and manner in which the pull-ups are programmed will challenge muscular endurance. This movement should not exceed 3:00 while those with a high pull-up capacity may attempt to complete these reps in 1-2 sets.
Faster times for this workout could be under 6:00-7:00. This workout can be run in heats where a new athlete starts shortly after another athlete completes the 500m row.
Row
*Cap at 2:30
*1500m/1200m air bike.
Double Unders
*Practice double unders for 1:30 for each set of 75 reps.
*Perform 125 single unders for each set of 75 reps.
Pull-ups *Modify to a jumping pull-up or ring row.
See you all tomorrow! Have a great day!
