“Rest-Pause” Pull-Ups
1 x 50
The “Rest-Pause” method involves doing multiple challenging but sub-maximal effort sets. Using the same load or level of assistance as in Week 3, perform the prescribed reps as quickly as possible in sets of 1-3 reps at a time, resting as needed between sets. Practice relaxed “ribs down” breathing during your rest periods. The key is to remain shy of muscular failure and not push into and beyond it.

This Week at CFSBK in Review
1. We raised a total of $22,843 for the Sunrise Movement as part of Fight Gone Bad 2019. We’re so proud of you guys and all of your hard work. You rule. Thanks to everyone who organized, judged, fundraised, competed, or otherwise pitched in in any small way. Check out Wednesday’s post for the full fundraising and Spirit of Fight Gone Bad results!
2. You can also check out dozens of photos from Fight Gone Bad (like the one above) on our Flickr account.
3. Put yourself in the expert hands of a certified Wim Hof Method Instructor to learn the 3 pillars of the Wim Hof Method: Breathing Technique, Cold Exposure, and Commitment. Find out how you can utilize oxygen and cold exposure to optimize body & mind, and learn about the underlying physiology. This time around we’re offering two different seminars, a full Fundamentals Workshop on October 19th and a 2-hour session on October 26th for those who have already taken the Fundamentals seminar.
4. The 2020 CrossFit Games season kicked off Thursday with Open Workout 20.1! As you may know, the CrossFit Open has moved from the spring to the fall, and we’ll be bringing back our full slate of events over the next 5 weeks. You still have until this Tuesday to register! On the fence? On Monday, we gave you 5 reasons to sign up for the Open.
5. We are running on our normal schedule tomorrow. Have the day off? Come get your fitness on with us!
