Why the strict Pull-up?
They build muscle and compliment kipping pull-ups: Pull ups build functional strength towards improving one’s kipping pull ups. This means that strict pull ups and weighted pull-ups, help a CrossFitter to improve. Not only do strict pull ups build muscle efficiently and complement kipping pull ups, but they also offer variety, which is another cornerstone of CrossFit.
Strict (or weighted) Pull-up (3 sets of 7)
*Use a band if needed to scale to level and ability in order to still maintain the stimulus. If Strict Pull-ups are in your wheel-house, upgrade to weighted pull-ups and record weight or band used.
then:
8 Minute AMRAP - Barbell complex
1 (Deadlift)+1 (Hang Clean) + 1 (Thruster)+ 1 (Front Rack Lunge Right)+ 1 (Front Rack Lunge Left) = 1 Rep
(95/135#)

1) Snatch Balance- warm up then 6 sets of 2- increase weight each set or use working weight through sets
2) Back Squat 25/10 Warm up then put 80-90% on bar, a weight that you think will be hard but doable to complete 25 reps in 10 minutes. You can break the sets up anyway you choose but do not let form breakdown
3) Push Press- heavy 5x5- increase weight each set or use working weight through sets
Accessories:
1) Good Morning-3 sets of 10 2) Face Pull 3 sets 10-15 3)50 hollow rocks (break into sets)
