If you are working on your first pullup, you could do assisted pullups with a JumpStretch Band and then body rows.
Or you could do assisted pullups with a JumpStretch Band, and then assisted pullups with like 3 bands!
If you have a gym membership, of course then it's super easy to work on your first pullup. You just use the assisted pullup machine, and slowly work down the weight assistance over time. For the kind of "over" and "under" training I was talking about, you'd go with as little resistance as possible for the overs, and then crank up the assistance and rep out for the unders.
Fighter Workouts for Fat Loss Fighter Workout Test!
Ok, so in the last video I did, I changed the scoring. Now I'm going to add a squat and a pull to balance it out.
The new scoring system makes way more sense, it looks like this:
The pull is going to be pullups (what today's video was about). The squat is going to be pistols.
So your test day would look like this –
1.) Do the Fighter Workout Test (5 minutes)
2.) Go for a walk, have a protein shake, rest (5-10 minutes)
3.) Pullup Test (just see what your max number of reps is, or go for a lower level of assistance)
4.) Short recovery walk (1-3 minutes)
5.) Pistol test (see what your max number of reps is. Start with your weaker leg)

Interesting concept with the over and unders. Just curious what the end goal of this type of training is. Would you be looking to gain on rep numbers for your bodyweight pull-ups? Thanks.
Yesterday: Cream of wheat, yogurt, one cookie, black bean,kidney bean and hominey soup with a few (15) fritos and one small spoon sour cream on top. Today:Oatmeal, whole grain cheerios with 2% milk, banana and approx. 10-15 skittles. Will eat a yogurt later and then salad and slice of whole grain bread for dinner. How can I improve my meals?
