5-Min Morning Routine: Dip/pull up ladders

No time? No gym? The title says “dads,” but this works for everyone. This is a basic dip/pull up ladder that is currently my favorite warm up and also works well for strength work. Try this: Do the dip progression you can handle x 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 supersetted with the pull up progression you can handle x 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. You should be able to complete these reps without getting too close to fatigue in under five minutes.

If you can't get the dip/pull up yet try the push up/inverted row.
