STRICT Pull-up Skill Work:
Weighted Strict Pull-up / Strict Pull-up @bodyweight
5x4 @ a challenging weight
**These will be strict from a dead hang w/ supinated grip, pronated grip, or mixed. Athletes can load KB/DB or plates using the load belts, sled belts with chain, etc. Athletes w/ only a few strict pull ups may cut the reps down each round to a manageable number and work at bodyweight or a very light load. Please encourage athletes to maintain good position regardless of which pull-up variation they choose.
5x4 - Seated Pull-up w/ elevated feet + weight / Inverted Rows / Bent Over Row (2R+2L)
Athletes without strict pull-ups can also perform seated pull-ups w/ the kids bars and may elevate the feet slightly w/ plates, a bench, jerk box, etc to increase difficulty. Athletes may also increase difficulty by adding a plate to their lap. See example photos below.
