    Double Up Is a Benchmark Workout to Challenge Your Strength and Endurance

    2nd May 2019
    Double up - EVO Fitness

    ALL LEVELS / strength and endurance / for time / 10-15min
    Equipment: high bar, superfunctional bar/ TRX, mat

    May’s workout is a simple benchmark workout for time that will test your strength, endurance and staying power.

    When we talk about benchmark workouts, we are talking about any that can be performed periodically to evaluate your current level of skill. Such workouts will usually go back to fundamental movements such as squatting, pushing, pulling. They will also often involve higher volume – reps vs load. The goal is to test your fitness and technique over time.

    This workout is made up of 3 foundation exercises performed back to back for time – don’t forget to start/stop your stopwatch.

    You should perform the exercises in the following order:

    1. Pull-up 25 reps
    2. Push-up 50 reps
    3. Squat (bodyweight) 100 reps

    Complete all reps in the fastest time.
