Mistakes are a fact of life. It is the response to the error that counts.
Updates:
Had to order a new water machine. Should be in any day. Apologies for not having accessible water last week. Should be back online ASAP!
We’re getting closer on the bathroom sink. This should be the week!
Our friends at Summit CrossFit have secured a new location and all their necessary permits. Their contractors have started demolition at their new spot. They’ve told me they hope to be in their new space by late January. I’m grateful we’ve been able to share our space with them, and I know they are excited about getting their own space again. We’ll also be excited to get back to our normal as well. Thank you for being positive, patient, and supportive during this time.

Strict Pull-Up Program (Day 7 of 20) - Outside of class programming/on your own
• Kip Drills, 4 x 5
No, you aren’t prepping for a kipping pull-up, but kip drills will still work to strengthen your
lats (and the musculature of the shoulders), as well as improve overall proprioception.
Here you’ll be pressing down into the bar, which should drive your body backwards
as the lats activate (keep your toes against the box at all times). These should be slow
and controlled, and feel very similar to Day 1’s lat press downs.
• Banded Pull-up Negatives, 10 x 1
Jump into the top of the pull-up as needed. Remember your top position from Day 6’s
chin over bar holds. Keep your shoulder blades pinched back. Focus on descending
as controlled as possible the entire way through. No specific tempo required. Your
band will determine the difficulty though, so make sure things are challenging. If not
for the first half of the 10 reps, then definitely for the second half.

Strict Pull-Up Program - Day 6 of 20
(outside of class programming - do on your own - only the 3 piece, lat pull-downs, are in the class programming for today)
• Every 1 min for 5 min:
Toes Spot Strict Pull-ups
You’re upping your Toe Spot Strict Pull-up volume today. 30 total reps versus the 25
performed on Day 1 and on Day 3. Finishing all 6 reps might be difficult on the minute.
Scale back the reps if needed. Do not sacrifice activate lats or default to using more
toe assistance for the sake of fitting in more reps. Keep these challenging and focus
on the things you’ve been learning thus far.
• Chin Over Bar Hold, 1 x 45 secs
Accumulate 30-45 secs.
Use an overhand grip here, as that is how you’ll be performing your strict pull-up. Use
a box to jump into the top hold position. During the hold, focus on pinching your scaps
back the same way you did at the top of your Ring Rows from day 5. Last but not least,
stay in your hollow position!
*These aren’t easy! Break up as needed.
• Banded Single Arm Lat Pull-down, 3 x 16
3x8 L/8 R
Initiate with your lat. Pull the palm of your hand all the way to your rib cage. Your elbow

Strict Pull-Up Program Day 5 of 20
(outside of class programming - do on your own. Today’s WOD has lots of pull-ups, if you come to class count those for the 2nd and 3rd parts below)
• Hollow Hold, 3 x 20sec
Back to back hollow hold days, but that’s how important these are! Compare to Day
4’s performance to see if you are getting better. Shoot for bigger sets in the hollow
hold. If using the tuck hold, try starting out in a full hollow hold (even if only for a few
seconds) before switching back.
• Banded PVC Strict Pull-up, 3 x 8
Perform these while seated in pike position. Initiate with your lats, then pull as low as
possible.
*The thicker the band, the more difficult these will be. Challenge yourself.
• Ring Rows, 4 x 8
4x6-8 reps
Initiate with the lats, and pause at the top of each rep. Really focus on pinching your
scaps in the back during your hold (1-2 sec), then control your descent back down.
*Difficulty determined by how close/far your feet are to the pull-up bar.

Strict Pull-Up Program Day 4 of 20
(outside of class programming - do on your own)
• Active Bar Hang, 1 x 90sec
Accumulate 90 secs in as few sets as possible.
You’re building on your Day 1 Active Bar Hangs. Those were only 30 sec each. See
how long you can go today. Remember, these are “active”, so press down on the bar
to activate your lets. Also, practice your hollow body position by pointing your toes,
squeezing your glutes and quads, and tucking your rib cage down.
*These aren’t easy!
• Hollow Hold, 3 x 20sec
You just performed a hollow body position from a pull-up bar with your Active Bar Hangs,
now let’s practice from the floor. We’re breaking the exercise up into manageable 20
sec sets. Stay hollow (pointed toes, glutes and quads squeezed, rib cage tucked), but
use the tuck hold option if needed.
*Avoid resting during each 20 sec interval. Instead, switch to a tuck hold if you can no
longer hold a full hollow hold.
• Segmented Ring Row, 3 x 8
Similar but different to Day 2’s Feel Elevated Ring Rows. Initiate each ring row by activating your lats. This will elevate your body towards the rings a bit. Pause there for 1-2 sec, then complete the ring row. Drive your elbows down and back so that the
rings are pulled to your rib cage rather than your chest. Keep your body as rigid as
possible on these. You should be noticing a common theme by now. Lat activation and
strengthening are critical to strict pull-up strength!
*Increase/decrease difficulty by moving your feet closer /further from the pull-up bar.
Segmented Ring Row

Strict Pull-Up Program (Day 3 of 20)
Today’s work doesn’t fit with our Friday programming. You’ll need to find time outside of class or this weekend to complete.
• Every 2 min for 10 min: Toes Spot Strict Pull-up + Negative
These will be similar to Day 1’s toe spotted pull-ups, but now we’re including a 3 sec
negative. Descend from the top position as controlled as possible. You have the same
volume as Day 1 (25 total reps), but the negative should make things a bit more difficult.
*Initiate your pull with the lats first.
• Single Arm DB Bent Over Row, 4 x 20
4x8-10 L/8-10 R
More lat strengthening today, but this time with some dumbbells. If you don’t have a
dumbbell, you can use a barbell. The goal here is to pull the weight to your hips, not your
chest. The elbow should go back and up. This will activate and strengthen your lats.
*Feel free to support yourself on a bench if needed. Use a weight that is challenging
but that still allows you to get the load to your hips.

Ryan Fisch
Warm-up
AMRAP 8’, comfortable pace, of:
40 seconds of biking, jogging or rowing (try to increase pace set after set)
10 m high knees
10 m butt kicks
6 kettlebell russian swings, use a light load
20 seconds of rest
Strength/Skill (Strict Pull-Up Program, Day 2 of 20)
• Active Pull-up Bar Hang, 3 x 30sec
These are “active” bar hangs. Engage your lats by pulling down on the bar. Remember
what the Lat Press Downs felt like on Day 1. You’re doing the same thing here, but
only the first couple of inches. You’re also practicing the same “hollow” position you
performed on Day 1, but this time your doing it while hanging from a bar.
*Go for big sets here. Unbroken if possible.
• Feel Elevated Ring Rows, 4 x 8
4x6-8 reps
The goal here is to pull the rings down to your hips. Much like the lat PRESS downs on
Day 1, think about pressing the rings down rather than pulling yourself up.
Use as little hip momentum as possible. Some momentum is okay here if you can’t get
any movement at all, but initiate with the press down and not the hips.
*The higher the box, the tougher these are.
(After WOD, if time)

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
First Strict Pull-Up Program: We’ve had a couple of members commit to working hard on getting their first strict pull-up. To that end, we’re launching a program, starting today, to work on this goal. I’m building this extra work into the programming and sometimes integrating it into the normal class work. If you want to work on this, you’ll need to find some time, either before or after classes or during open gym time, to get some of this work done. We’ll repeat this program and make it available throughout the year, but if this is a goal of yours, let’s get it. Also, if you’re doing the program, send Ben an email or text me (ben@pisgahfitness.com - 828-772-7115). I want to know so I can keep up with your progress and help push you toward this goal!
Warm-up
3 minutes of easy rowing, biking or jogging
-then-
2 sets, not for time, of:
5 shoulder pass throughs, pvc pipe (feel free to use a light band if it treats your shoulders better)
5 band pull-aparts
5 scap pull-ups
5 kip swings
5 pull-ups, ring rows, or low-ring muscle-ups
250/200 m row (or same distance if running or 600/400 m air bike), try to slightly increase pace set after set
60 seconds of rest
Strength/Skill
Rope climb skill (5 min)
Get Your First Strict Pull-Up Program
20 session program.
We’ll do Mon/Wed/Fri (You’ll have two days to get each session’s work in before the next session comes up. If your shoulders feel overworked or overused, take a break or turn down the volume.).
This work is often more than we can fit in the class. If you’re in the program, you’ll need to figure out time to get this work in!
Day 1
Strict Pull-up Test
We need a baseline! Attempt a strict pull-up. Even though you may not be able to
perform one right now, take note of how you look, how it feels, and how close you are
able to get. Log 0 reps to this workout if you can’t get one. We’ll retest at the end of
the program.
Finish today’s session with Skill A, Skill B, and Skill C.
*If possible, record a video of your attempt.
• Hollow Hold, 1 x 60 secs
Accumulate 60 secs.
It’s important you’re pulling from the proper position. That means learning and
strengthening the hollow position. You’ll be playing around with the hollow hold many
times over the course of this program. Point your toes, squeeze your glutes and quads,
and tuck your rib cage down (shoulder blades off of the ground).
*Scale to a tuck hold as needed.
• Banded PVC Lat Press Downs, 3 x 15
You’ll need strong lats in order to perform a strict pull-up, so let’s strengthen them! In
addition to strengthening, these lat press downs will also help you understand how
to activate your lats (which isn’t always obvious or easy to do). Press down fast and
control on the way back up. Your elbows should remain locked out the entire time.
*The thicker the band, the harder these will be.
• Toes Spot Strict Pull-up, 5 x 5
You’ll be doing various forms of strict pull-ups throughout the program. You’ll start with
the toe spotted versions. The box is there to provide as much assistance as you need,
but challenge yourself to use as little as possible.
*Initiate the pull-up with your lats.
• Hollow Hold
• Banded PVC Lat Press Down
• Toe-Spot Strict Pull-up
