Based on the Building Pullup Strength instagram post from Learn Calithetics, do the following, resting as needed

  • 20 x Strict Pullups
  • 20 x Strict Narrow Grip Pullups
  • 20 x Strict Pronated Grip Pullups (chin ups)
  • 20 x Strict Wide Grip Pullups
  • 20 x Commando Pullups (10 with right hand forward/10 with left)

Then 3 rounds of (total of 9 sets), rest as needed between rounds…

  • 2 x TRX Pike Press
  • 4 x TRX Knee Tucks
  • 6 x TRX Mountain Climbers (L+R=1 rep)
  • Repeat for 3 sets

Results: I broke pullups into sets of 5, resting 60 to 90 seconds between each. Towards the end I even split the sets of 5 into 2s and 1s with minimal rest between the small sets. Took around 30 minutes for all 100 pullups. Pure volume.

3 rounds of

  • 6 x Weighted Pullup @ 10kg
  • Rest 1 minute
  • 8 x Weighted Dips @ 10kg
  • Rest 2 minutes

Then immediately following the last rest do one round of

  • 6 x Strict Pullups
  • Rest 1 min
  • 8 x Dips

Then 5 rounds of 30 second work, 30 second rest (25 minutes total)

  • TRX Pike Press
  • TRX Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat Left
  • TRX Pushup
  • TRX RFE Split Squat Right
  • TRX Tricep Extensions

Keep the TRX Straps at the same length throughout.

Results: I didn’t count the TRX stuff so just do it as best as possible. I kept the handles of the TRX at around knee high. For the split squats, I put my foot through both loops otherwise the strap dropped too low. Heavy TRICEP workout.
