APK's WOD for today, question.

[Matthew W]

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?

You go until you cannot complete the amount of pullups in the minute.

Ex. 1 pullup the first minute, 2 the second, 3 the third, so on.

Say you are on the 14th minute and you cannot complete all 14 pullups in that minute, then you are done.

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.
