About Bull
Bull honors U.S. Marine Corps Captain Brandon "Bull" Barrett, 27, of Marion, Indiana, who served with the 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment. He was killed on May 5, 2010, while supporting combat operations in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
Bull is one of the longest regularly programmed hero workouts. Two rounds add up to 400 double-unders, 100 heavy overhead squats, 100 pull-ups and two miles of running.
Tips for Bull
- The overhead squats are heavy for 50 reps. Plan sets of 5 to 10 and rest with the bar on your back, not overhead.
- Get the first round's double-unders done in big, relaxed sets. Tripping repeatedly costs more than a planned rest.
- Run both miles at the same steady pace. The second round always feels harder than the first.
- Take water before you start. Bull is long enough that a hot day changes everything.
