"Wings" (Checkmark)
Every 5:00 x 3 Sets
6 Strict Pull-Ups
12 Ring Rows
24 Dual Dumbbell Hammer Curls
- For the Strict Pull-Ups, we are looking for a challenging set. We can create challenge by adding loads to the pull-ups or moving to strict chest to bar. For scaling purposes, add band tension that allows 6 challenging reps with controlled strict form.
Other modifications today would be to move to a challenging toenail spot variation .
- For the Ring Row, lets look to create an angle that is both challenging, yet sustainable for 12 unbroken reps.
- Dumbbell Hammer Curls: Light Loads that can be done as 24 unbroken. We can sub out Banded Curls if needed and have a great 24 rep bicep burnout set here at the end of each set
Level 2,1,Masters, Comp: As prescribed. Look at adjustments for pull-ups that make the most since for 6 strict reps (unbroken)
Travel: Sub Inverted Rows or Dumbbell Bent Over Rows for Ring Rows
Goal: Complete all reps with strict control and no form degradation
Stimulus: Vertical pulling strength, horizontal pulling stamina, and upper-arm hypertrophy
RPE: 5-6/10, just a pump!
Primary Objective: Perform 6 strict pull-ups as a challenging, unbroken set
Secondary Objective: Maintain unbroken ring rows and hammer curls with full control
