Dubbell Thrusters + Pullups

moniesisfun

I love this workout!

The way I've been doing this involves several rounds of palms-in barbell thrusters (squat plus press) directly into pullups.

I start off light on the thrusters to warm up, and drop the reps as weight is added.

After I fail with 5+ reps at a heavy weight, I start dropping back down, so it's kinda a ladder, but with a long peak. Like one of those adjustable ladders


I'm currently doing this:

Warmup Stretching

20 Air Squats

max-3 wide Pullups

10 Thrusters with 10lb barbells

max-3 neutral grip Pullups

10 Thrusters with 20lb barbells

max-3 Chins

10 Thrusters with 30lb barbells

max-3 wide Pullups

max Thrusters with 30lb barbells

max-3 neutral grip Pullups

(repeat last cycle until max Thrusters <5)

max Thrusters with 20lb barbells

max-4 Chins

(repeat last cycle until max Thrusters <5)



I take as much of a break between each round as I feel is needed to perform best. Once I'm going for max thrusters, this can be as long as 3 mins. The workout takes me about half an hour.

It's a decent way to gain strength, mass, and build endurance.
