Hi All,

I received an answer from the uphill athlete coaches. They confirmed that how I interpreted it was correct, incline pull ups on tools followed by tool hangs.

Bruno, To complete phase 7 & 8, I hang my tools from webbing off of a pull up bar that is about 2 meters away from a wall. I then push my step up box (~14” tall) against the wall and weight it with a dumbbell so it doesn’t wobble. This is much harder than doing it with heels on the ground for me.

I don’t know if I’ll get a response since this is quite an old thread, but the video instructions are confusing to me. I ended up concluding what metrorunt did, that you are doing the incline pull up progression but preferably with ice tools and then doing a set of dead hangs at the end using the ice tool progression shown in the video. It doesn’t make sense to me that ice tool dead hangs would progress to incline pull ups with reach, seems like you would be detraining pulling muscles if all you did was dead hang. The only thing that makes me question this logic is that the phases listed for the rings versus tools are not congruent. The phase 5 for the rings is boots on ground with 1 arm reach, while phase 5 for the tools is boots on block with 1 arm reach. Right now, I am going to do the incline pull up progression on ice tools and follow with a sets of dead hangs on tools. If anyone has any confirmation that this is correct, I would appreciate it!
