Skill Work:

8-10 minutes:

Work butterfly or kipping rhythm for pull-ups or kip swings for those who cannot do them yet

Work on the proper hand placement and set-up for HSPU, scale with rubber plates under an AbMat (no more than a 45# plate so there is still some range of motion), modify to pike position for those who cannot yet get upside down…negatives are a great way to work position and feel…pop up on wall, slow 3-5 second lowering, come off the wall and stand, repeat for 3-5 reps…can also progress to pause HSPU, lower head to mat, pause, bring knees down, pause, kick and press, come off wall and repeat

Skill Strength:

15-minute time block

6 sets:

3 Pull-ups (hardest version you can)

3 Handstand Push-ups (hardest version you can)

AMREP 3:

10 Clusters @135/95

Max Pull-ups

—1:30 rest between rounds—

*we worked strength for pull-ups in the first section, now let’s see how you do with higher reps

*Pace: Aggressive: 75 Pull-ups, Solid: 60 Pull-ups, Limit: 45 Pull-ups

*Clusters: from the ground, squat clean into a thruster, these should be quick singles or 2 reps at a time, if you can do much more than that it is too light

*Pull-ups: go for big sets each time, this is testing your ability to consistently string reps together
