“Haven’t done this workout in a while. I get asked a lot about workouts. Give this one a shot!” David Goggins wrote.
The workout is made up of 100 pull-up reps in 10 minutes. From there, a three-minute rest is taken. This is followed up by five more pull-ups. Rinse and repeat five reps and five seconds of rest until failure.
After that, take 10 minutes of ‘easy cardio’ to recover before performing 100 chin-ups in under 10 minutes. Utilize another three-minute rest period, then complete five chin-ups with five seconds of rest until failure.
“100 pull-ups in under 10 minutes
3 minute rest
5 pull-ups followed by 5 seconds rest until you can’t complete 5 anymore”“10 minutes easy cardio as you are recovering”
