10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of:

Bench presses

Chest-to-bar pull-ups

Stimulus and Strategy:

Today’s workout is a classic push-pull combination and a good old-fashioned pump session. The movement pairing should create minimal interference, allowing you to transition smoothly from one exercise to the next. Choose a bench press load that lets you complete your reps in no more than 2 sets. That said, if you do not have a spotter, do not push to failure on any set. Be smart and rerack the barbell as needed. Aim to complete the chest-to-bar pull-ups in 1-2 sets. Advanced athletes who can maintain unbroken kipping chest-to-bar pull-ups and finish within the intended time domain may opt for strict chest-to-bar pull-ups instead.
