Specific Warm Up

Workout Notes


Alrighty! We’ve got quite a lot of pulling today! I love pulling movements and believe that they are under utilized in the fitness world because it’s more fun to do all the pressing. Not today!


Start with your 5 x 5 of Pull Ups or your chosen modification. The idea here is to make each set very challenging. That means if you are great at Pull Ups, maybe you can add weight to all of your sets. Maybe you can add weight to the first couple, but then your arms get smoked and you drop the weight off for the rest. Doesn’t matter. I just want EACH SET to be challenging!


After you’ve done the Pull Ups, move on to the circuit. Depending on how much time and energy you have, you can do 3 or 4 rounds of the circuit, taking as much time as you’d like.


Strict Pull Up Modifications


Standard Modifications apply, so you can go with Bodyweight Rows or a Bent Over Row variation of your choice. You can also just jump to your station on the Pull Up Program!


Sumo Deadlift High Pull Modifications


This movement is usually pretty safe for more folks, but if you are having issues with it, break it in half and just do the part that works for you. If you have an issue with the sumo deadlift, just do the upright row. If you have trouble with the row, just do the sumo deadlift!


Russian Kettlebell Swing Modifications


These can be Russian Swings (Eye Level,) American Swings (Overhead,) or you can swap in something like a Hang Power Clean or Hang Power Snatch. Just be aware that we do have lots of Hang Power Cleans coming up on Day 3!


Bicep Curl Modifications


There are many versions in the video. Just pick what works for you and chase the PUMP!
