BEGINNER SERIES ONE<br />

PULL<br />

Primary Work: 8 sets of max pull-ups<br />

Gut: 2 minutes of sit-ups<br />

MetCon: Run 400 meters 2 times<br />

Directions: Do as many pull-ups as you can in 8 sets. Allow yourself<br />

2–3 minutes rest between each set.<br />

If you can do dead-hang pull-ups, do as many as you can each set, and<br />

then add 3–5 kipping pull-ups to the end of each set without dropping<br />

off the bar. If you do drop off the bar at the end of your dead-hang<br />

pull-ups, jump back up onto the bar immediately for 3–5 kipping pullups<br />

and then <strong>com</strong>mence the 2–3 minute rest.<br />

If you can’t do any pull-ups at all, then use the ground or a stable<br />

box on the ground to jump up and get your chin over the bar. Once your<br />

chin is over the bar, hold yourself there as long as you can. This is<br />

called a “negative repetition.”<br />

PUSH<br />

Primary Work: 8 sets of max push-ups<br />

Gut: 2 minutes of leg-raises, 10–45 degrees<br />

MetCon: Max burpees in 2 minutes<br />

Directions: Do as many push-ups as you can in 8 sets. Allow yourself<br />

2–3 minutes rest between each set.<br />

Vary the width of your hands, anywhere from 6 inches closer than<br />

shoulder-width to 6 inches farther apart than shoulder-width.<br />

If you can’t do any push-ups at all, try doing them from your knees<br />

instead of toes. If even that is difficult, try leaning into a wall and<br />

see what you can do there.<br />

LIFT<br />

Primary Work: 8 handstand holds<br />

Gut: 2 minutes of V-ups<br />

MetCon: Run 400 meters 2 times, max effort
