Death by Push–Pull–Squat (20 min)

20 minPull-up Bar
Start this EMOM →

A 20-minute EMOM cycling through 5 movements. Complete each exercise at the top of its minute and rest for whatever time remains. All you need is a pull-up bar.

The Workout

  • Start with 3 reps of each, add +1 every round:
  • Push-ups
  • Air Squats
  • Pull-ups (or Rows)
  • 👉 Keep climbing until failure.

Tips

  • Complete all reps before the minute ends - that gap is your rest.
  • If you have less than 10 seconds per minute, reduce reps by 2–3 and rebuild from there.
  • Scale to ring rows or jumping pull-ups if needed - partial reps with good position beat sloppy full reps.
  • Use a false grip (thumb on the same side as fingers) for kipping movements to protect your wrists.
  • Chalk your hands for high-rep sets. Consistent pulling volume on bare skin leads to rips.
