Level 1/2

“Lynne“
Five rounds for max reps of:
Body weight bench press
Pull-ups

Each round consists of the max number of reps you can do without putting down or letting go of the bar. There is no time limit on this workout, though you should keep it to a max of 1-2 minutes of rest between exercises and 2-3 minutes of rest between rounds.

Basics

Five rounds for max reps of:
Push-ups
Pull-ups

Each round of push-ups consists of the max number of reps you can do. The push-ups start once you are just on your hands and toes. You are done once your hands or toes move from the push-up position or another body part touches the ground (except when the chest briefly touches the ground at the bottom of the push-up). You are done with the pull-ups once you come off the bar. No time limit on this workout, though you should keep it to a max of 1-2 minutes of rest between exercises and 2-3 minutes of rest between rounds.

Congratulations Lisa on your 1st unassisted pull-up last week!
