PULL<br />

Primary Work: Pull-up pyramid<br />

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

MetCon: 4 x 100-yard shuttle runs<br />

Directions: This workout is re<strong>com</strong>mended when you can do at least 5<br />

pull-ups. Start <strong>by</strong> doing 1 pull-up. Rest for a bit. Do 2 pull-ups. Rest<br />

for a bit. Do 3 pull-ups. Rest for a bit. Continue to increase the<br />

number of pull-ups <strong>by</strong> 1 each set, until you do not beat your previous<br />

number. When you miss your previous number, drop off the bar, shake it<br />

out quickly, and then get up and <strong>com</strong>plete the set. Now <strong>com</strong>e back down<br />

the “pyramid” <strong>by</strong> decreasing 1 pull-up from the previous set. If you<br />

can’t do all the pull-ups in a single set to get to the required<br />

number, do the required number in a broken set.<br />

If you can do dead-hang pull-ups, do dead-hang; if not and you can do<br />

kipping pull-ups, do them. If you cannot do kipping pull-ups, use<br />

jumping pull-ups. For this and any pull-up workout, if you can utilize<br />

kipping or jumping pull-ups to <strong>com</strong>plete your set without breaking it,<br />

do that sometimes. But sometimes drop off the bar, get a quick rest,<br />

and then <strong>com</strong>plete the set.<br />

For the shuttle runs, mark a start line and then a line at 5, 10, 15,<br />

and 20 yards. Start on the starting line and run to the 5 yard line,<br />

touch the line, run back to the start line; repeat this for the 10, 15,<br />

and 20 yard lines. Keep your time. Complete 4 sets. Take 2–3 minutes<br />

between sets.<br />

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

MetCon: Run 1 mile, hard<br />

Directions: This workout is re<strong>com</strong>mended when you can do at least 6–10<br />

doing 1 push-up. Rest for a bit. Do 2 push-ups. Rest for a bit. Do 3<br />

push-ups. Rest for a bit. Continue to increase the number of push-ups<br />

<strong>by</strong> 1 each set, until you do not beat your previous number. When you<br />

miss your previous number, rest quickly, and then continue with your
