Crossfit - Death By Pull ups

The name says it all.

The workout consisted of the following: 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 did a 500m row and 2 rounds of warm-up (only did 5 pull-ups each round due to workout!) Since I'm a newbie and can't do pull ups, I did a scaled WOD subbing jumping pull ups (JPU).

I ended up with 12 rounds + 12 jumping pull-ups. That means I completed 12 JPU in round 12, but could only get 12 JPUs instead of 13 in the next round. So close. I really tried hard, too, but just couldn't do it.

The soreness continues on!
