The Persistence Progression

Before you even attempt a pull-up, ask yourself one thing: can you hang with control? 👀💪

A strong pull-up starts with a strong foundation, solid grip, good positioning, and the ability to comfortably hold your bodyweight on the bar.

Start by testing your dead hang. Aim for 10 seconds with a full grip, then keep building from there.

Small basics like this make a huge difference when you’re working toward your first pull-up.

Stronger shoulders start here 💪🔥

Try the Banded Face Pull to build stronger shoulders, improve posture, and strengthen your upper back.

Keep your core tight, pull toward your forehead, drive your elbows back, and squeeze your upper back at the top.

🚨 HYROX just changed the Burpee Broad Jump standard, and this is one update you NEED to know before race day.

The movement may look the same, but the setup has changed. You now have more space between your hands and your toes, giving athletes a little more room to move efficiently and stay within the standard.

That sounds simple… until race-day fatigue kicks in. 😅

This is why practicing the correct movement standard now matters. The goal isn’t just to move fast, it’s to move efficiently, stay consistent, and avoid unnecessary mistakes when every second counts.

🎥 Watch the full breakdown in the reel.
🔖 Save it for your next HYROX session.
👥 Tag your HYROX partner so they know the new standard too.

If you could remove ONE movement from your workouts forever, what would it be? 👀
Running? Back squats? Shoulder presses? Burpees? 😅

Some movements clearly have more enemies than others 😂

👇 Your turn, comment the ONE exercise you’d delete forever!

HYROX Sandbag Walking Lunges can look simple… until race-day standards come into play. 👀🔥

Keep the weight secure, make sure your back knee touches the ground, stand tall between reps, and avoid shuffling your feet.
And don’t forget, cross the line before putting the weight down. 💪

Train the standards now so you don’t give away time with unnecessary warnings or penalties on race day. 🏁

HYROX looks simple on paper… until you realize what those 8 runs are sandwiched between. 😮💨🔥

Here’s the lineup you need to know: 8 x 1 km runs, with a different functional station after every run, SkiErg, sled push, sled pull, burpee broad jumps, rowing, farmer’s carry, sandbag lunges, and finally 100 wall balls. 🏃♀️💪

The challenge isn’t just being fast or strong. It’s being able to keep moving when your legs are tired, your heart rate is high, and you still have another station waiting for you.

That’s exactly what we train for at Persistence Athletics. Whether you’re preparing for your first HYROX or trying to improve your next race time, we’ll help you build the strength, conditioning, pacing, and confidence to handle the full race.
