Good name for a workout, huh? This is something I came up with during my workout this morning:

deadlift 10 (last few should feel really hard)

heavy swing 20

pullups (or chins) max

rest and repeat

I've seen few people that had a proper pull vs. push strength ratio. The fact is most everyone lacks significant pull strength.This workout hits that hard.

Now this workout seems to contradict good workout design by not balancing push vs. pull, but the lifts are different as is the emphasis of each. The deadlift is a lower body grind pull, the swing is a lower body ballistic pull at higher reps (I initially did 10 reps but found 20 worked better), and the pullups are an upper body pull.

This triplet makes a great workout ender or a workout by itself. So get to pullin'. :)
