Workout 10228

Created: June 6, 2025

Description:

G.I. Jane
For time:
100 burpee pull ups
Jump to a pull up bar 1 foot above your reach.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a benchmark workout called G.I. Jane. If you have completed this workout before, look back at your previous score to help you navigate today’s effort. This workout is all about mental fortitude and your ability to endure the monotony of the task in front of you. There is nothing fancy here — just “fall” to the floor, get up, and get your chin over the pull up bar. Your legs are your best friend when it comes to these pull ups. Use them to jump your chin up over the bar. Choose a height for your pull up bar that allows you to keep moving. When in doubt, lower the pull up bar and go faster.
To reduce the complexity of the burpee, consider performing an up down. For the pull up portion of the movement, reduce the height of the pull up bar to allow yourself the opportunity to jump your chin over the bar.
In case of injury or limitation, perform burpees or up downs with a jump to touch the pull up bar (instead of performing the pull up).
Intermediate option:
For time:
70 burpee pull ups
Jump to a pull up bar 6 inches above your reach.
Beginner option:
For time:
50 burpee pull ups
Jump to a pull up bar at the middle of your forearms when your arms are extended overhead.
Coaching cues:
Draw a line on the floor directly underneath the pull up. On each burpee, place your hands on this line and focus on jumping your feet to your hands. This will position you in the best spot to jump to your bar.
