Warm-up


Back Squat
3 x 5


Bench Press
3 x 5


Strict Pull-ups
3 sets

For pull-ups, you may use either a pronated grip (palms facing away from you) or a supinated grip (palms facing toward you). Our goal is to work up to 3 sets of 15 reps - at this point, we start working with weighted pull-ups.

"15 pull-ups?! Weighted pull-ups?! But I can't even do one regular pull-up!" That's O.K.! These are long-term goals, and we will discuss how to work toward that goal during your sessions today. A lot of you will probably begin by using the assistance bands that we have hanging from the pull-up bars, and we'll start with a lower number of reps and build from there - you will be surprised how quickly you improve at this!
