Scaling:
If you are unable to perform an L pull-up, choose a pulling exercise that is more challenging than the last time you performed pull-ups. Watch “Pistol Variations” and practice a single-leg squat with solid mechanics, focusing on keeping your heels down throughout the rep.

Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for time of:
15 kipping L pull-ups
30 single-leg squats

Beginner Option:
4 rounds for time of:
5 eccentric (negative) pull-ups
20 box step-ups
