Push Pull challenge II

Jump to Comments

The name for this combo is “gettin’ stupid,” because it is simply the result of ridiculous experimentation.  Try it…

KB incline press with bands/kb bent rows with bands (see below): go for heavy reps and match the row with the press. 4 sets, with bonus sets for trying heavier weight.

Strap pushups/pullups:  like with rings, but we’re too cheap so we use our sled straps. Again try to match the pull with the push, as many as you can. 3 sets.

Hand clean/push press: heavy for about 6 reps each. 4 sets, if you’re grip isn’t fried from the strap work (if it is, you know what you need to work on).
