APK Warm-Up for 12/3/08

Workout:

With a constantly running clock, perform 1 pull-up the first minute, 2 the second minute, 3 the third, and so on until you cannot perform the required number of pull-ups for the minute that you are on. If you come up short of 10 minutes, start back at one pull-up the minute following your failed set (so if you made it to only 4 pull-ups in the 5th minute, you'll do 1 on the sixth minute, 2 on the seventh, etc. until you reach your second failed set). You can break up the reps into as many sets as needed per minute.



I understand everything except for how many I'm suppost to do? One set of 10 minutes? Or two? Or as many as I want with 10 minute intervals?

Yes.

But if you come up short of 10 minutes -- reset until you hit 10 minutes.  This is to make sure you do at least 10 sets.

Example:
1 - 1 pullup
2 - 2 pullups
3 - 3 pullups
4 - 4 pullups
5 - 3 pullups + Failure  - RESET TO ONE
6 - 1 pullup
7 - 2 pullups
8 - 3 pullups
9 - 4 pullups
10 - 5 pullups

If you can go past 10 minutes without failing -- then by all means, continue...

I can go to like 13 or 14 or something like that last I tested -- but that was a LONG while ago.
