Pull-Up Mayhem Fitness Challenge

 

TEST ONE: Pull-ups

 

MISSION: Perform as many pull ups as you can in 2 minutes.

Coaching Tip: Use chalk, it will decrease bar slippage and allow for a more definitive grip especially when the first break of sweat erupts.

 

< REST 60 SECONDS >

 

TEST TWO: Squat-Ups

 

MISSION: Perform as many squat-ups as you can in 2 minutes.

Coaching Tip: Begin in a full squat position. Explode off of the ground, jumping high enough to grab onto the bar. Use your momentum to pull yourself over the bar and perform a pull-up. Retract and repeat as many times as possible.

 

< REST 60 SECONDS >

 

TEST THREE: Burpee-Ups

 

MISSION: Perform as many burpee-ups as you can in 2 minutes.

Coaching Tip: Begin by performing a standard burpee (minus the push up) As soon as you jump to your feet, explode off of the ground and perform a pull-up. Descend back towards the floor and repeat.
