ADV/FB - If you're unable to do a DeadHang Pull Up you are to do Ring Rows.
The workout is AEROBIC in nature and therefore requires a PACE. Maintain the same work output for each 90 sec interval.

Training Notes:

The goal is to focus on each movement separately and definitively. You are NOT going AFAP. Your work output should be consistent across the 23 minutes. You are to work on Vertical Pushing, Core and Coordination.

[1 Pull Up C2B + 1 T2B] - complete 1 C2B Pull Up and while on the bar complete 1 T2B. Do this combination 5 times for each set. Stay on the bar for all 5.
