If you’ve ever seen me workout, you know I LOVE mental toughness workouts. And when I can mix in strength endurance, I’m all set.
We always talk about the importance of power to weight ratio, and this workout demonstrates that. I wanted to warm up the body weight some pulling before I did a lot of pushing. I broke the pull ups into 5×10. I practice and preach having a great power to weight ratio, and if you weigh lot and don’t have the strength to support that this workout will get nasty fast.
The penalty racking the bar is nasty so I tried to get as many reps in as possible in a set. With this format you usually want to stop before failure, but I wanted to test myself and see how my mind and body did going to failure every round.
