Tips
a) Perform each exercise and fast as possible.
b) Plyometric chin-ups: perform a normal chin-up, but as you’re coming up, bring your knees up as well. At the top of the exercise, “jump”, releasing your hands from the chin-up bar, grabbing hold again as you descend.
c) You can replace med ball slams with sledge hammer slams if you have the right equipment.
d) Box Jumps: start by standing atop a 15+ inch bench. Drop down, then jump back up atop the bench, spending as little time in contact with the ground as possible.
