Bodyweight: Upper Pulling Endurance (AMRAP – Reps)

Endurance Ladder Test:

Start with 6 Towel Rows, increase by 2 reps every 30 seconds until failure or until you cannot complete all reps unbroken

*Can also perform starting as 6 Banded Bent Over Rows or 6 Kipping Pull Ups or 2 Strict Pull ups

Athletes Notes

Score

Score is total reps. So if you get through 15 of 16 reps but are unable to complete the 16th unbroken, then your score would be 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 15 = 65 reps.

Flow

We are testing our upper body pulling endurance today. This towel/band option is great for those who don’t have access to a rig or pull up bar but want to get stronger in their pulling!

Grip is likely going to play a factor today.

0:00 – 0:30: Complete 6 Banded Bent Over Rows, rest remainder of time

0:30 – 1:00 Complete 8 Banded Bent Over Rows, rest remainder of time

1:00 – 1:30 Complete 10 Banded Bent Over Rows, rest remainder of time

…continue until you cannot complete all reps unbroken and/or you reach failure

Be sure you log your score so you have a number in mind to “beat” in your re-test!

NOTE Strict pull ups are definitely going to be an RX+ Option here. There are only 2 at a time. You can also complete as Banded Strict Pull Ups if you want to work on pull ups, but don’t have many unassisted pull ups yet.

Towel Rows OR Banded Bent Over Row OR Strict Pull Ups

Backpack Option

Endurance Ladder Test:

Scaled and Mayhem Moms

No modifications here, as you should be able to do at least the towel or band option. If needed you could also do as a Crush Grip Object Row

Minute 3: Rest

*these are NOT Bulgarian split squats. These are just split stance squats with both feet on the floor

Athletes Notes

Note

Because Upper Pulling Endurance is one of our focuses for this cycle, we will do that first in our day and then finish with strength. Our strength will be focused more on using heavier weight and building strength than capacity in a movement.
