Scaling:
This workout offers 5 max-effort attempts at each exercise, regardless of how you modify the movements. Choose something that will allow you to perform at least 7 reps of each, even as you fatigue. Give yourself at least 3 minutes (no more than 5 minutes) of rest after the pull-ups before beginning the next round of bench presses so you recover enough to get another big set. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load of the barbell and the difficulty of the pull-up. All athletes should perform the bench presses with a buddy — spotting this movement is super important. If you don’t have a spotter, don’t push to failure. You may also consider using dumbbells as an alternative.
Intermediate option:
5 rounds for max reps of:
3/4-bodyweight bench presses
Pull-ups
Beginner option:

Not really counting as an improvement since the trajectory looked better in 2019, but overall better than 2018. Curious what would have happened if we did the full 5 rds in 2019. I find that a solid bench press is hard for me to maintain at 41y.

Oh, I guess I should say intermediate but with strict pull ups. 145lbs
Gonna have to add this to another workout later on. Spent most of the day doing yard maintenance, pool maintenance, and digging post holes (there’s way too much clay in my dirt).
Good work today suspects!
Ugh--digging post holes are not joke!
Bro, F digging in clay! Shit is awful

failed and dumped the weights on the last 2 bench sets. Rested 3.5m after bench and 3m after pullups until the last round where 5m rest didn’t seem to help! Need to be more consistent!
