Like every other pull-up workout I do, I did manage to get a blister up my hand… although this time I didn’t actually break during the workout so I had to do it once I got home.
As for the workout… it as just OK. As Jason was saying he really doesn’t like this one because its hard to scale and still be effective. However, since I suck at pull-ups I decided to do it anyway. On the upside I found out that I can do a strict pull, even if I can only do like 3 of them. Here is what I did…
RxD: 3 45# weighted, 5 strict, 7 kipping – 10 rounds
Ben: 3 strict/neg, 5 kipping, 7 jumping – 10 rounds
I started off the first round with 3 strict, 1 the 2nd round, and then jumping w/ negative for the rest. Kipping pull-ups rock, I was able to bust those out no prob. I think I over did myself on the jumping the first several rounds as I was jump up to the bar. For the last few rounds I actually got a box so I was already hanging from the bar for the jump which makes a big difference.
Even though I was the last to finish and almost gave up after round 8 (when my hand started to bubble up)… I took few extra sets and time, but did manage to push through and finish all 10 rounds.
But… hey, I can do a strict pull-up!!
