Chin ups – 2 sets of max reps
(Back exercises generally require equipment. They are important to do in order to prevent imbalances)

 

*Any explosive exercises are more likely to cause injury, and should be done with caution and limited volume to begin with. They can also cause muscles to tighten up, so foam roll afterwards if possible.

Carry out steady state cardio or fartlek style training on seperate days.
