Was able to get below my chest/top of abs, with my high pullups which feels like the work last week has paid off… so continuing towards my goal of a strict bar muscle up.

Every 3 minutes for 9 minutes

  • 8 x Strict Pullups
  • 3 x Deficit Handstand Pushups (from Yoga blocks)

Then 3 rounds of

  • 8 x Barbell Reverse Rows
  • 10 x TRX Atomic “Russian” Pushups

Then 3 rounds of

  • 6 x Cable Pulldowns @ 100lbs
  • 6 x Strict Toes to Bar

Finisher Bike HIIT

  • 5 x 30 seconds work / 30 seconds rest (rest = 80% of work RPM)
  • 5 x 60 seconds work / 60 seconds rest
  • 2 x 50 seconds work / 30 seconds rest

Results: Cable pulldowns were too heavy. Lower weight (76-95lbs) and full ROM is probably more effective.
