When do I perform the workouts?
This is a progressive conditioning program at a 2x/week frequency. Please do not perform both workouts in back-to-back sessions or days.
Structure this program around your daily workout. Keep in mind that the goal is not to double up on the same day as your regular class workouts. For example, if the program calls for multiple sets of kipping pull-ups, then do not perform that workout on the same day that your regular class WOD includes pull-ups. This is to prevent muscular overload and potential injury.
Equipment
At minimum: rings, pull-up bar. While these are the minimum materials needed, we understand that athletes may not have access to other modalities that may be often seen in combination with these movements. This could be due to unavailable gym equipment, season (i.e. winter vs. summer), etc. The program will give you multiple movement suggestions based on what you have available to allow for accessibility.
What do I choose? Pull-ups, T2B or MU?
The program focuses on all of them. Your main choice will be between MUs and pull-ups. Choose the variation you have the most difficulty completing high volume or unbroken sets. Its highly recommended that when picking pull-ups or MUs, you stick with your choice throughout the ENTIRE program. The pull-up variation can be chin-over-bar or chest-to-bar kipping pull-ups.
