Workout Description
Maximum number of consecutive chest-to-bar pull-ups.
Why This Workout Is Medium
Requires greater range of motion and pulling strength than standard pull-ups.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (7/10): A significant test of upper body pulling stamina and grip endurance. Requires greater range of motion and pulling height than standard pull-ups, making each rep more taxing.
- Strength (5/10): Requires greater pulling strength than standard pull-ups to get the chest to physically contact the bar. Max reps tests the endurance of this specific strength.
- Power (4/10): A powerful kip is often used to achieve chest-to-bar contact, especially for multiple reps. Tests the ability to generate this power repeatedly.
- Speed (4/10): Cycling reps efficiently without excessive rest contributes to higher numbers. Not about maximal speed per rep, but sustained effort through a larger ROM.
- Endurance (3/10): Moderate cardiovascular demand if performing many reps quickly. Primarily tests localized muscular endurance.
- Flexibility (3/10): Good shoulder, scapular, and thoracic mobility allows for a more efficient path to get the chest to the bar.
Modality Profile
A pure gymnastics workout, focused on max reps of a single movement.
