Here is a cool video that has some efficiency tips on pull-ups. This should help you get more reps on 12.5 by allowing you to preserve energy for the barbell thrusters.

One more weekend to endure with the nutrition challenge. It was scheduled to end on Friday, but the final aspect of the challenge is to repeat the “Tabata Something Else” workout, which has a lot of pull-ups. We did pull-ups on Monday, we are doing them again for 12.5 and I want to make sure we compare apples to apples. Therefore, the challenge will be over on Monday once everyone completes the WOD. I know I know, but it’s been almost 60 days. What’s another two days? Finish strong!
