Tuesday Workout: Back Squats, Pull-ups, and Rhiannon

1460095_10151755026456751_791199925_n

STRENGTH

A1. Back Squat, 5 x 5 (~70%), rest 10 seconds

A2. Pull-up, 5-10 x 5, rest 1-2 minutes

Notes: A1 and A2 are supersets – perform a set of 5 back squats and then perform 5-10 pull-ups (i.e. about 10 seconds of rest or “transition” time).  Rest about 1-2 minutes after your set of pull-ups and repeat for a total of 5 sets.  Pull-ups can be done however (kipping, strict, banded, ring rows, etc.), but must be performed in an unbroken set with good control so you are not approaching failure.
