Goal: Accumulate as many wall ball reps as possible while staying consistent with strict pull-ups. Athletes should aim for at least 80+ total wall balls across the workout.
Primary Objective: Sustain steady wall ball sets and minimize transition time between pull-ups and returning to the wall ball.
Secondary Objective: Unbroken Sets of Strict Pull-Ups
Stimulus: Midline and shoulder stamina under fatigue. Athletes must balance heart rate control with upper-body endurance.
RPE: 7.5/10—Moderately uncomfortable. The workout requires managing breathing and local muscular fatigue, especially after the later rounds of pull-ups.
Workout Strategy Notes:
Wall Balls:
Open with a large set in the first minute to build volume before fatigue sets in.
After each pull-up set, re-engage quickly and aim for consistent, manageable chunks (e.g., sets of 10-15).
Focus on efficient breathing and a smooth rhythm to avoid excessive burnout.
Strict Pull-Ups:
Smooth, controlled reps to preserve pulling strength.
If needed, break into quick singles to avoid failure later in the workout.
Use a grip width that allows for maximal efficiency without over-fatiguing the shoulders.
