Developing Butterfly Pull-Up Strength & Technique

Let’s begin with the elephant in the room. Usually, we see a post of an athlete performing Butterfly Pull-ups and we see 100s of comments that say “not one pull-up done.” Ok. Let’s be real. First, if you understand the purpose of the butterfly pull-up you wouldn’t feel a need to make that comment. Second, if you understand the basics …

Ride an air bike as hard as you can for 20 minutes Ride an air bike as hard as you can for 20 minutes. Divide the average watts in that 20' by your weight in kilos. If that number isn't 3-3.5 you won't do well in events like Hyrox.

Our Year or Domination plan will fix that. Comment LUNGS if you're interested in learning more.
Going all-out on 8–15 minute metcons every sessi Going all-out on 8–15 minute metcons every session isn’t a conditioning plan—it’s a grind with no strategy.

Just like we don’t max our back squat every training day, we shouldn’t redline every WOD and call it “building an engine.” True energy system development takes structure:
✅ Long, steady aerobic work
✅ Targeted threshold intervals
✅ High-intensity capacity sessions

You need progression. You need purpose.

That’s exactly what our Year of Domination – Engine Builder delivers. A full year of strategic conditioning cycles designed to attack every energy system and make you unbreakable in metcons.

🔑 Build Running Volume — You Can’t Fake 5 Miles
Many CrossFitters struggle with the running portions of Hyrox simply because they don't train it enough. Hyrox includes eight 1K runs sandwiched between stations—so you’ll run over 5 miles total. Make sure you're running consistently (2–3 times per week), ideally with intervals and tempo work to build aerobic efficiency.

🔑 Train Your Max Sustainable Pace
Hyrox rewards athletes who can hold a high effort for a long time, not those who can redline for short bursts. Incorporate workouts that challenge your ability to maintain threshold efforts for 45–75 minutes without crashing. Think Zone 3/4 efforts with mixed modal training.

🔑 CrossFit Helps… But Isn’t Enough
CrossFit alone will get you through Hyrox, but not necessarily through it fast. Many athletes who only trained CrossFit finished mid-pack. Those who blended structured endurance training (running, cycling) with strength work did significantly better. 

🔑 Train Mental Grit for Long Efforts
This isn’t a 12-minute AMRAP. Hyrox takes 60–90 minutes of sustained discomfort. Practice longer, grindy efforts weekly—like 40-minute EMOMs or 60-minute zone 3 runs with calisthenics mixed in—to stretch your mental and physical endurance window.

🔑 Short on time to prep for Hyrox?
Our Build Your Engine: Running program is the perfect complement to your CrossFit training. In just six weeks, you'll target all three energy systems to boost your conditioning and improve running capacity—exactly what you need to thrive on race day.
