2015-03-06 Open 15.2

The 2nd open workout is here! This one is all about managing your pullups. For the scaled ladies, yes it sucks that the scale is chin over bar pullups; I think that’s too advanced for the Open but oh well. Don’t get all worked up if you can’t do a pullup. Just do the workout with a band and see how far you can get. Then make a plan to get that 1st pullup before next year’s Open!

We’ll have plenty of tips for you before you start because this is one where strategy can make a HUGE difference…

Every 3 minutes for as long as possible complete:

From 0:00-3:00
2 rounds of:
10 overhead squats (95 / 65 lb.)
10 chest-to-bar pull-ups

From 3:00-6:00
2 rounds of:
12 overhead squats (95 / 65 lb.)
12 chest-to-bar pull-ups

From 6:00-9:00
2 rounds of:
14 overhead squats (95 / 65 lb.)
14 chest-to-bar pull-ups

Etc., following same pattern until you fail to complete both rounds. Scaled starts at 6/6 and goes up by 2 reps in the same way…
