Time Cap: 8 minutes

Scaling:

Option 1 – 30 Toe Assisted Strict Pull-Ups

Option 2 – 30 Foot Assisted Strict Pull-ups to Low bar

Option 3 – 30 Inverted Chest to Bar Rows
Strength Notes:

– This is a tester that we will retest later in the cycle.

– There is no drop from the top allowed. We want a fully controlled eccentric on every rep.

– Most should approach this in small sets to try to chip away at the reps.

– it is expected that most will not finish in the 8 minutes and that is ok. If someone will get very few reps or cannot perform a strict pull up they should use one of the scaling options.
