Skylla Freeletics
Pullups, toes-to-bar and squat jumps: a complete WOD on the bar.
By Jérémie NeubauerCalisthenics, CrossFit and strength training enthusiast for over 15 years
Skylla needs a pull-up bar: 5 pullups, 10 strict toes-to-bar and 15 squat jumps, five times. Back, abs and jumping power in 9 to 13 minutes.
The circuit (5 rounds)
No set rest between rounds, go straight from one exercise to the next.
Tap an exercise each time you finish it. Long-press or “−” to correct.
Tips to nail this WOD
- "Strict" toes-to-bar means no swinging: lift your feet with your abs.
- If your feet don't reach the bar, bring your knees to your chest.
- The squat jumps rest your upper body: go through them without stopping.
