Tips to nail this WOD

  • If strict pull-ups are still out of reach, use a resistance band or stick to Australian pull-ups, which are more accessible.
  • Control the way down on every rep: the negative phase builds the most strength early on.
  • Keep the 30 seconds of rest between exercises. This WOD is about consistency, not speed.

Frequently asked questions

Is it a problem if I can't finish all 4 rounds?

Not at all. Start with 2 rounds and add one as soon as you finish cleanly. Progress comes within a few weeks.

Is this WOD enough to progress as a beginner?

Yes. Done three times a week, it covers pulling, pushing, legs and core to build a complete base before the intermediate level.

Should I warm up first?

Always. Five minutes of shoulder and wrist mobility plus a few bodyweight squats are enough to prepare the joints.
