Athlete Notes:
Today’s workout is an advanced version of a 2016 Regionals workout. We’re bumping it up a notch with both the wall balls and chest to bar pull-ups. Back then it was a standard height and ball as well as chin over bar pull-ups but today we’re going to knock them out to a higher target (we saw this in AGOQ last year) and with chest to bar. Go big on the wall balls and know you’ll take longer rests, or go smaller with shorter rests. Try a strategy out and see how well that works for you. When you get to the chest to bar, the goal is to just keep moving. We saw people knock the chin over bar pull-ups out unbroken on occasion back in 2016, can you hit the chest to bar in 3 sets or less?
