  • 60″ Ski on high resistance
  • 30″ Active Hang
  • 10 Ring Rows

Test: Pull Up Strength

Today we test pull up strength. Three attempts to get as many pull ups in one set. You can rest at the bottom position if needed, but once you let go of the bar that’s the end of your set.

*Start with arms completely extended and pull your chin over the bar. You are allowed to use pronated or supinated grip but other than that you have to choose one of the below options. Rest at least 3 min between sets.

  • B: max set UB ring rows
  • I: max set UB strict pull ups with green, black or red band
  • RX: max set with UB strict pull ups
  • RX+: max set UB strict weighted pull up @ 10/5 kg

  • 21 Front squats @ 60/40 kg
  • 15 TTB

*Aim to work max 45″ per min at least the first few minutes. This is a lot of volume, so choose your strategy wisely. Short sets with short rests are the way to live through this bit. For those planning to do Murph 9 June, this is 100% of that volume in 20 min if you do the ninja version.

*Flow = P1 starts on the first 400 m run, P2 starts on the chipper with devil presses. Once P1 gets back they pick up where P2 left off and P2 goes to the next 400 m run. They keep alternating until the 4K is done or until the chipper is done. Then both partners can work on the remaining reps in YGIG format. Once the run and chipper are complete they both go to one machine to collect as many cals as possible.
