“Never stop training. The minute that you allow the mindset of “the gym will be there tomorrow” to permeate, the wheels fall off.  Time is a cruel mistress.  She is unforgiving and does not accept excuses or mediocrity.  Walking into the gym each day is your way of kicking Father Time in the balls”. - John Welbourn

Gironda Sternum Chin-up

1. Right as you begin the pull, tip your head back and try to look behind you as if you were attempting to do a back flip.
2. Continue looking back as you pull while keeping your chest elevated and your lower body still.
3. Depending on the length of your arms, you should make contact with the bar anywhere between your lower chest and mid-abdomen.

If done correctly, the contraction you get in your upper back will be unparalleled and your lats will be on fire after just a few reps. This is an extremely advanced exercise, so make sure you've mastered other easier variaztions first before trying it. - T Nation

300 Reps on under 20 minutes is no joke! 

Alternate movements. Start with 50 reps of

Military Presses, then move to 10 Upright Rows, then 40 Presses and 20 Upright Rows,

and so on.

"For our first move, we’ll be performing military presses. On this move you’ll want to push like if you’re pushing it through the roof and lock it out. Military presses will work our anterior and lateral heads of our deltoids. We’ll follow this up with upright rows which will work our rear delts and to a lesser degree our traps. I like using cables for this movement because you get a good contraction all the way up and all the way down. Use the full range of motion for this exercise and make sure you keep your elbows up. We really want to isolate the target muscle". - kagedmuscle.com
