We got this one from CrossFit Mayhem, but decided to only do 2 sets of each, which is still a lot of reps. Scaled the pull-ups back from 12-10-8 too, which would have been impossible. I was fine with the first two movements. Then in the second time through push-ups I think I went 12-8, 8-7, and a very slow 10. For the pull-ups I was resetting with my feet on the ground and then I dropped and did singles the second time through. Quick pump session that we’ll definitely try again.
