Be a Man

This afternoon we went out to the ROTC playground for a grip ripper! We did a simple triplet that required  the ability to control the body.

21-15-9 of
Pullups
Pushups (hand must leave ground at the bottom of each rep)
Toes to Bar

The logic behind taking the hands off the ground at the bottom is to ensure maximum range of motion. This fatigues the shoulders and makes the other movements in the triplet more difficult. I do not recommend doing this every time, but it is great to throw in every once in a while for a challenge.

This workout destroyed the grip and shoulders. If you cannot kip on the pullup then this workout was even harder. So my advice to you is learn to kip. Rest up tomorrow and we will see everyone at 9 pm Monday night.
