Bodyweight Training Plan: Day 10 - Pulling
Presented by Spartan Training®

Just like with our pushing mechanics for this week, we are now looking to increase strength in the muscles that are essential for pulling and climbing while on the Spartan course.

To make these exercises more challenging, can you increase the step of your side step up, lower the bar on your inverted row, or try a pull up instead of a bicep hang? In order to see the most with this bodyweight program, you will need to train your body to push through the mental cues that tell you to give up. When your brain tells you to stop, your body can keep going. You’ve got this, Spartan.
