This Saturday, the workout of the day will be a couplet of DB front rack walking lunges and pull-ups.
The intended stimulus for this workout is to improve higher rep pull-up capacity while finishing the lunges in 2 sets or less.
If you have not developed the capacity for doing higher pull-up volumes yet, consider 4-5 sets of max pull-ups per round and time cap yourself at 3 minutes of pull-ups each round.
As always, pull-ups may be substituted with banded pull-ups, jumping pull-ups, ring rows, or bent-over rows.
Depending on the space, we may substitute the 50 ft walking lunges with 18 in-place lunges.
For those of you on zoom, you can substitute the pull-ups with bent-over rows or DB/KB swings.
See you all on the zoom, in group classes or in the open gyms.
Cheers,
Big Cat
