10:00 EMOM
Minute 1: 8 Strict Press @ 100-105% of 3×10 test
Minute 2: 3-5 Weighted Strict Pull-Ups
Strict Press working at 100-105% of 3×10 test set load. Weighted strict pull-ups at a heavy load athletes can complete unbroken for 3-5 reps across all five sets; full dead hang at the bottom, chin over bar at the top, no kipping.
*For athletes who cannot meet the 3-5 pull-up standard, use unloaded strict pull-ups, add appropriate band tension, or sub 3-5 jumping pull-ups with a controlled :02-:03 eccentric on the descent.
Modifications:
Level 1: Strict Press @ 6/10 RPE across or adjust to Dumbbell Strict Press to maintain quality positions; substitute jumping pull-ups with a slow eccentric or use band-assisted strict pull-ups matched to a load that allows 3-5 unbroken reps.
Hotel Gym / Travel: Dumbbell strict press for the pressing minute and hold a dumbbell between the legs for strict pull-ups in the gym. If no pull-up bar available, sub heavy bent over dumbbell rows or Renegade Rows.
