So, let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes, today’s WOD calls for Chest2Bar Pull Ups. No need to stress. If you are efficient at pull ups, the only change should be just a slight extra pull back of your elbows at the top of a kipping pull up. If you don’t have Chest2Bar, scale properly to help improve your performance towards getting them. Scaling is not a bad word. It means you are putting in the work to improve.
Scaling Options:
Chest2Bar -> Chin-above Pull Ups -> Banded Strict Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull Ups -> Ring Rows (ELITE: Bar Muscle Ups)
MB weight -> 14/10 -> as needed
Cool Down:
Kneeling Lat Stretch – 1 Min per side
