      Happy Tuesday,

      I am on Block 3A week 3 day 2 and two of the exercises call for “explosive”. I can imagine what this means but just wondering if you could offer any guidance, particularly for the pullups which don’t have a number of reps set. Do I go until failure?

      Thank you.

      Zach for that exercise group you are doing one set of three pullups explosively (as fast as you can) then one set of pullups to failure. Then you do the 1 arm DB bench 3 x 8 each side explosively with a fourth set to failure each side.
      2 total pull ups sets
      4 total Bench sets.
      Hope that helps.

      Be sure you do a hard Scap pullup first and then explode.

      Just getting started with the Scap thing. I can hardly do any, but I can feel that I’m getting so much more out of it.
