Today we challenge our upper body and midline local muscle endurance. It is a form of strength training but not in the form of low reps yet in the form of high reps and volume. The load you select for pressing should allow for a minimum of 10-15 reps on round 1. Pull ups today are also unique. Your job is to do as many strict as you can, and they even carry more significant weight in scoring; they are each worth 3 reps where the kipping pull ups are only worth 1. Each round begins with strict pull ups until failure and then go to kipping to finish and get as many reps as you can in the time given. The V up will be a movement you should be able to keep relative pace throughout and accumulate as much work as you can each round.
