"Up" on the Housetop...


Warm Up:

100 Invisible Jump Ropes

15 Kipping Swings on High Rings

15 Kettlebell Swings

20 BIG Skips

15 PVC Good Mornings
(2 Rounds)

Skill:

Differentiating between Pull-ups (regular and kipping) and Chin-ups

2 sets each of 3 Regular Pull-ups, 3 Kipping Pull-ups and 3 Chin-ups


What are Pull-ups & Chin-ups?
Hang on a pull-up bar with straight arms & pull yourself up until your chin passes the bar. The difference between Pull-ups & Chin-ups is in the grip:
  • Pull-ups. Palms facing away. Less biceps, more back. Harder.
  • Chin-ups. Palms facing you. Work your biceps more. Easier.

Other Pull-up variations include: palms facing each others, thumbless grip, towel Pull-ups, Fat Bar Pull-ups, Mixed Grip Pull-ups, Horizontal Pull-ups, Kipping Pull-ups and more.

WOD:
AMRAP in 15 Minutes of...

20 Box Jumps (24" men, 20" women)

20 Deadlifts (70-80% Body Weight)

20 Chin-ups

and Reindeer Run Runners, light 20 minute jog in lieu of WOD. Good luck!!
