Strategy & Tips

Daniel is a symmetrical chipper—it ends the same way it begins. The challenge is managing 100 total pull-ups sandwiching thrusters and running.

  • Break the first 50 pull-ups strategically (10s or 5s)
  • Thrusters should be unbroken or broken minimally (11-10 or 7-7-7)
  • Use the runs to recover from the pull-up and thruster fatigue
  • The final 50 pull-ups are brutal—stay mentally strong
  • Chalk and rest briefly before the last 50 pull-ups

Pacing

Controlled. The workout mirrors itself, so pace the first half knowing you have to repeat elements.
