Butterfly Pull-Up Stamina Exercise Improvement Program

January 1, 2015

Range of Motion’s Exercise Improvement Programs have been developed to assist in improving the ability to complete the movements that people most commonly struggle with. They are designed to be cycled through over time, with each session running for only five minutes. This allows them to be completed in addition to (not instead of) your regular programming.

  • Session 1: TEST: Max unbroken butterfly pull-ups (two minute cap).
  • Session 2: Complete as many unbroken sets of ‘x’ butterfly pull-ups in five minutes. Choose a number that will challenge you but still allow high volume.
  • Session 3: Max unbroken butterfly pull-ups (60s cap). Rest 60s. Three rounds.
  • Session 4: ‘x’ butterfly pull-ups every 15 seconds for five minutes. Choose a number that will challenge you.
  • Session 5: Every minute for five rounds complete ‘x’ butterfly pull-ups Choose a number that will challenge you.
  • Session 6: In five minutes, progress as far through an unbroken butterfly pull-up ladder as possible. That is, one butterfly pull-up, two unbroken, three unbroken etc. No extra kip between reps.
