This is a partner based workout. 2 people are to complete a total of 200 (100 each) dead-hang pull-ups. Reps must be completed alternatively one rep at a time.
Person 1 jumps to bar, completes 1 rep, drops off bar then person 2 jumps to bar, completes 1 rep, drops off bar - repeat this cycle until 100 reps have been completed per person.
Pull-Up - must start as dead-hang to chin over bar for rep to count. Any grip allowed (I would advise changing grip throughout).
