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 />
push-ups. It follows the same pattern as the pull-up pyramid. Start <strong>by</strong><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
