    Ben:
    scaled: 10mins AMRAP
    4 rounds and 7 squats.
    First day back after 5 day voluntary rest period. Complete yesterdays WOD before this one, so cut the time in half. Pullups obviously the limiting factor. Considering a different approach to my pullup conditioning on the higher rep days…possibly returning back to the assistance machine. I’ll think about it!
    Anyway it is good to be back and hitting it hard again!

    Ben, do you have bands to help you with pull-ups?
    What’s the biggest issue for you right now?

    G’day Adam,
    Main issue is that is WODs like today, the first few rounds are fine, but quickly it degenerates into splits of 3-4reps. This is mainly because my kipping is average, and the equipment I have to use is not ideal for kipping (it moves on more forceful kips) and also the bar itself is very thin which seems to aggravate my grip on higher rep sets. In addition as I am not being challenged metabolically in these workouts as intended (because of above) I start to slightly reduce range to get through some reps. Not ideal.
    I have a band I can use, so I may try that, thanks for the tip. Or I may go back to assistance machine and focus on getting some unbroken high rep sets with full ROM for a few weeks. Any other tips?
    As an interesting side note, last week I got 5 reps of 20kg weighted pullups chest to bar out easily…
    Thanks!
