This one will get tough fast!
– Although this workout is for time, the rest in between sets will be important!
– If a good scale is not picked, you will get time capped – that’s ok.
– Rest before fatigue sets in, especially on the HSPU.
– Complete control is imperative.
– For the Pull-Ups, it is a better choice to clearly pass the chin over the bar with a LIGHTER LOAD, than barely make it with a heavier load.
– Train through a strong range-of-motion.
HSPU:
– Aim for 2-4 max sets on every set.
Pull-ups:
– To load the Pull-Up, place DB between the legs.
– Pick a number of reps that will allow for 2-4 breaks at all times.
