Saturday, January 16: 60 Rep Cylce of Squats, Pull-ups and Push-ups.


With a continuously running clock, squat for 60 seconds. Subtract the number of squats completed from 60, and do that many pull-ups in minute two. In minute three, squat again, subtracting the number completed from 60. Do that number of push-ups in minute four. Minute five is squatting again, and minute six pull-ups.


The pattern is squats, pull-ups, squats, push-ups, squats, pull-ups, etc. The goal is to stay within the workout's formula for as long as possible.

Don't do more than 60 squats in any round.

Messed this one up a bit... only did alternating squats and pull-ups, no push-ups.

Then we got a call...

15 cycles, 675 Squats and 225 Pull-ups

Could've done more, I was finishing my pull-ups well within 20 seconds of the second minute of the cycle and got plenty of rest, and if I had alternated my push-ups with the pull-ups I could have had even more rest for my arms and more time to recover.
