Pull-Up Workout

Today is going to be a tough one. Once I complete my warm-up, the fun will begin. I am going to do a pull-up ladder. Here's what it looks like:

With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.
Use as many sets each minute as needed.

I am hoping for 20 rounds. Let's see...that would be a total of 210 pull-ups in 20 minutes. With the new workout program I am doing, I have incorporated pull-ups a lot more. This workout will be a great way to measure my progress. I'll keep you posted.

If you can't do pull-ups, that's okay. At New Jersey Boot Camps in Cranford we have bands that provide assistance to keep help you complete your pull-ups.

Have a great day!

Yours in Fitness,
