Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a couplet and gives Fran vibes. Expect your legs to get gassed by the bike, and at some point, your arms will reach stamina failure/fatigue. Manage your pace on the bike to allow yourself a chance to breathe and get oxygen into your system. Manage your reps on the pull-ups — don’t push yourself to failure too soon. Instead, consider smaller sets, like 5/5 or 4/3/3, with quick breaks.
Scaling:
Reduce the repetitions of each movement.
To reduce the complexity of the chest-to-bar pull-ups, decrease the range of motion.
In case of injury or limitation, for the chest-to-bar pull-ups, perform jumping pull-ups or ring rows. For the Echo bike, choose any available machine.
Intermediate option / Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
8 pull-ups
8-calorie Echo bike
Beginner option / Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
6 jumping pull-ups
6-calorie Echo bike
Rest 30 seconds after each set.
Coaching cues:
On the chest-to-bar pull-ups, consider placing your hands slightly wider on the pull-up bar than normal. This will reduce the range of motion and make it easier to get your chest to the bar.
