Strict Pull-Up Program (Day 12 of 20) - on own, outside of class programming
• Active Pull-up Bar Hang, 1 x 120sec
Accumulate 90-120 secs.
By now you’re probably realizing these things aren’t easy. You’re so much stronger
today, though, so we’re upping the volume! Compare to Day 4’s 90 second effort.
Today is a full 30 seconds longer. Stay active by pressing down on the bar.
*Break things up as needed, but aim for big sets.
• Hollow Hold, 3 x 20sec
These should be feeling a bit easier now. If switching back and forth between hollow
holds and tuck holds, see if you can increase your time in the hollow hold. Whatever
you do, attempt to work the entire 20 seconds. No breaks any more!
• Segmented Ring Row, 3 x 10
3x8-10 reps
We first saw these on Day 4. There are 2 pauses here: one at the very beginning, and
one at the top of the rep. Initiate the pull with your lats by pressing down on the rings.
This should feel similar to your Scap Pull-ups on Day 8. Hold the top position for 1-2 secs.
*Try increasing difficulty from Day 4 by moving your feet to allow your torso to flatten, even
if only a couple of inches.

Strength today is the same as Day 11 of the Strict Pull-Up program
• Every 2 min for 10 min: Toes Spot Strict Pull-up + Negative
Negative = 3 secs
vSame piece as performed on Day 3. For today, use even less toe assistance, and
come down even slower on your negative. Also, if you cut down on the reps last time,
consider adding some volume.
• Single Arm Dumbbell Bent Over Row, 4 x 24
4x10-12 L/10-12 R
If able, consider going heavier than you did on Day 3. The volume is higher so you
might not be able to. That’s fine. Just like the rings in your Ring Lat Press Downs on
Day 8, the dumbbell should touch somewhere near your hips. Keep your elbow going
back and up.
*Don’t sacrifice dumbbell height for weight. You should be able to pull the dumbbell
all the weight up until it makes contact with your body.

Today we’re revisiting Day 1’s 60 second hollow hold piece. Compare today’s effort

today. Resist the urge rest completely. If you can, go from a hollow hold to a tuck hold
to remain under tension for longer.
*Reminder: point your toes, squeeze glutes and quads, keep rib cage tucked (shoulder
blades off the ground)
• Banded PVC Lat Press Down, 4 x 15
4x12-15 reps
You’re upping the total volume from Day 1’s lat press downs. Keep the difficulty the
same if this skill piece is already challenging enough. Consider switching to a thicker
band for increased resistance.
*Remember, your elbows should remain locked out the entire time.
• Toe Spot Strict Pull-up, 5 x 6 (If you are doing Friday’s Class WOD, you can get 20 of these reps checked off with that!)
Slightly higher volume than Day 1. That’s okay; you’re getting stronger! Try using less
toe assistance this time around. Compare your performance today with how these felt
on Day 1.
*Remember, initiate the pull-up with your lats by pressing down on the bar.

Strict Pull-Up Program (Day 8 of 20) - Outside of class programming/on your own
• Ring Lat Press Down, 3 x 7
3x5-7 reps
These are similar to Day 1’s lat press downs. Think of these more as a press down
than a pull. When done properly, the rings should touch somewhere between your
hips and your rib cage. These are tricky though, so make sure you are using the
appropriate difficulty.
*Difficulty can be adjusted by moving feet closer to/further from the pull-up bar.
• Pause Ring Row, 5 x 5
These are similar to Day 4’s segmented ring rows, only today you don’t have to pause
at the beginning and we’re holding the top for much longer. Initiate your pull with the
lats, and hold the top of your ring row for a full 5 seconds. Keep your scaps pinched
back during your hold just like with previous skill pieces.
*These will get challenging. Choose an appropriate difficulty by moving for feet closer
to/further from the pull-up bar. If you can’t hold for 5 secs, your difficulty level is too high.
• Scap Pull-up, 4 x 10
More scap and lat strengthening! The scap pull-up is going to look and feel very
similar to your Active Bar Hangs on Days 2 and 4. Essentially, an Active Bar Hang is
one long scap pull-up.
Start in a fully relaxed hang position, then contract your lats by pulling down on the
bar. When done correctly
