HOWTODOIT

Blast your entire body

with this gruelling

burpee-pull-up combo.

H

ow you finish your workout

can be the difference

between good and great

results. Which is why

you should ditch boring

treadmill runs and sub in a move

like the burpee chest-to-bar pull-up.

“You’ll increase your leg

strength, explosiveness,

coordination and overall level of

badasseryofyourworkout,”says

Matt Pudvah, certified strength

and conditioning specialist.

“Hopping down into a push-up and

then jumping up to the bar will

make you more athletic. But it’ll tire

the hell out of you, too, so save it

fortheendofyourworkout.”

DIRECTIONS:start a timer and do a rep

in conjunction with the minutes on the

clock. So do one rep for Minute 1, two

reps for Minute 2 and so forth until

you fail to complete the designated

number of reps within the minute.

BURPEE CHEST-TO-

BAR PULL-UP WORKOUT

1

Stand in front of a pull-

up bar and complete

a full burpee with a push-

up at the bottom.

2

Jump up and grab the bar

with a wide grip and pull

yourself up until your chest

touches the bar. For an added

challenge, start the pull-up from

a dead hang without using the

momentum from the burpee.
