pull/push

no, we’re not climbing ropes today. but wouldn’t you love to be able to, without your feet?

Pull ups and push ups seem to be standard for any functional training program.  But as we’ve discussed before, our shoulders are built for complexity, not just lots of volume through the same movement patterns.  Today, we’ll get to explore a myriad of ways that we can challenge our ability to pull and push our bodies without adding excessive volume or extra load.  While we might not get quite this complex, here, here and here are some examples.  As always, we’ll be scaling in an appropriate way to help allow us to build our way gradually in complexity.
