Linda

10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of:
1 1/2 body-weight deadlift
Body-weight bench press
3/4 body-weight clean

A good candidate for a team up due to space, equipment and volume. Find a friend and go a bit heavier than you would dare to go solo. Dumbbell cleans are a great option here if you are going lighter than ¾ bodyweight. Dumbbell floor press will also be sufficient for most folks.

Kettlebells, dumbbells, plates, weight vest, chains or even the Doc Disc classic backpack are all valid options for adding load to your pull ups.
