Workout of the Day

FITNESS
A.
EMOM 9:
Mins 1-3: 15-30s hang from pull-up bar
Mins 4-6: 15-30s arch to hollow swing on pull-up bar
Mins 7-9: 15-30s kip with pushdown and layback

Training notes:
•Adjust time or movement as necessary to get quality work in on each movement.
•If hanging is challenging, use assistance as necessary and work on developing the muscle endurance to hang from pull-up bar.

B1. Strict pull-up eccentrics
3×5; 30A0 tempo; Rest 1 min
B2. Strict bar dip eccentrics
3×5; 30A0 tempo; Rest 1 min

Training notes:
•Jump up to the top of the movement then control the eccentric (lowering phase) for 3s.
•Ideally, jump up without using assistance. The goal is to build volume in controlling the lowering phase without outside assistance.

C. EMOM 4:
1st: 20-30s hollow hold
2nd: 20-30s arch hold
-Into
EMOM 8:
1st: 20s AMRAP push-ups + 20s AMRAP vertical ring rows
2nd: 20s AMRAP strict DB press + 20s AMRAP double DB bent over rows
-Into
EMOM 4
1st: 20-30s hollow hold
2nd: 20-30s arch hold

Training notes:
•Prioritize good positions on hollow and arch hold. Drop the time down as necessary to make this consistent.
•Unbroken reps during the 8 minute EMOM. Choose a modification and a weight that lets you move steadily for the 20s intervals.

Record reps completed of each movement.

PERFORMANCE
A.
EMOM 9:
Mins 1-3: 30s arch to hollow swing on pull-up bar
Mins 4-6: 30s kip with pushdown and layback
Mins 7-9: 30s kipping pull-ups w/ 1s pause at top position

Training notes:
•This is intended to be skill work. Even if this is relatively easy for you, don’t feel the need to “scale up” too dramatically – focus on positions.

B1. Strict weighted chest-to-bar pull-up
Build quickly to a tough 5 for today
B2. Strict weighted bar dip
Build quickly to a tough 5 for today

Training notes:
•Alternate movements as you build.
•Load however you like. If necessary, use assistance to hit 5 strict reps.

Record load added as well as total load lifted (bodyweight + external load) in training notes.
