**Nothing super fancy today, just some good old fashion work.
For the pull up/burpee work, here’s my main takeaway – don’t wreck yourself. No need to tear your hands apart, so break up the pull ups however you need to and save your skin. I feel like this is my saying of late, but move ‘as quickly and efficiently’ through each couplet. Hit the standards – chin over bar at the top, arms at full extension at the bottom. Even if you scale them to jumping pull ups or ring rows, the same standards apply. And there are no kipping ring rows. Similar with the decline push ups from Tuesday, change the axis point (your feet) to make them easier to avoid kipping.
Burpees – chest to deck, both feet back/forward AT.THE.SAME.TIME, hips open.. let’s look for an angle of 130 degrees. Cool?
It’s one thing to do this workout Rx, it’s another do it knowing that you met ALL the standards for ALL the reps.
