Workout Overview

Stimulus

Today we will alternate row and our “work” rounds.  Each round of “work” is 30 double unders, 5 strict pull ups, and 15 abmat sit ups.  Athletes will complete 4 rounds of that triplet before advancing to the rower and follow that flow for the rest of the workout.  Have athletes choose reps/modifications that will allow them to complete one round of “work” in 2 minutes. 

Scoring

Score | Time

Movements

Row | 6:00-4:30-3:00-1:30 or less.

Double Unders | 0:30 or less.

Strict Pull Ups | Focus on quality movement here.  Athletes should be able to complete reps in about 0:30.

Abmat Sit Ups | Around 0:30 of work, should be done unbroken.

Strict Pull-Up Warm-Up | Tell, Show, Do, Check

  • 0:20 Scapular Pull-Up
  • Athletes should hang from the bar with arms straight and focus on pulling their shoulder blades down and back without bending their arms.
  • Emphasize engaging the scapulae to initiate the pull and building shoulder stability.
  • 0:20 Hollow Hold (Hanging from Bar)
  • Look for athletes to maintain a tight, rigid body with toes pointed and a neutral spine, preparing the core for strict pull-ups.
  • 0:20 Active Hang + Pull-Up Negative
  • From an active hang (shoulders engaged, scapula pulled down), athletes will slowly lower themselves down, controlling the descent for 3-5 seconds.
  • Emphasize slow, controlled movement, ensuring that they maintain tension in the core and lats throughout the descent.
  • 0:20 Banded Strict Pull-Ups or Jumping Pull-Ups (Assisted)
  • Ensure athletes are using their upper body to pull rather than relying on momentum or assistance.
  • 0:20 Tempo Strict Pull-Ups (3-Second Descent)
  • Look for proper head positioning (in line with the body), elbows tracking back, and full range of motion—chin over the bar at the top.
  • 0:20 Strict Pull-Ups (Workout Movement)
  • Watch for smooth movement, neutral spine, and consistent pull-up technique with no kipping or excessive body movement.

Look For

  • Rower | Hold athletes to the time frames today.  Encourage them to find a steady pace they are confident they can maintain. 
  • Double Unders | Focus on our teaching focus today.  We want an efficient wrist movement to relax the arms. 
  • Strict Pull Ups | Look for athletes to keep tension throughout the whole body.  Tighter is lighter!
  • Abmat Sit Ups | Reps should be smooth and unbroken, have athletes scale to hit that target.
