What if I can do pullups?
Jumping pullups (use as much leg push as needed, lower slowly . . . this really keeps the cardio going in a WOD like Fran) Pure negatives (climb to top position using whatever means necessary, chair, bench, whatever, then lower slowly) Assisted Pullups: use a Gravitron machine (if you’re lucky enough to have access to one), or, even better, a human spotter to give you a lift. Bend your legs at the knees so that the tops of your feet are facing down, have the spotter support you there to provide some lift. Assisted pullups 2: Get a large elastic band (surgical tubing works great), loop over the bar, step in it to provide some lift Reduced load pullups: Suspend a bar (maybe an Olympic bar for weights?) at a height less than overhead . . . maybe about chest high . . . get underneath it with you legs in front and body straight . . . do “pullups” with your legs still on the ground, supporting part of your weight . . All of these have the advantage that they are neurologically more valuable
