DEATH BY PULLUP & DEATH BY PUSHUP

WITH A CONTINUOUS CLOCK, DO ONE PULLUP IN THE FIRST MINUTE, 2 IN THE SECOND MINUTE AND SO ON UNTIL YOU CAN NO LONGER COMPLETE THE NUMBER OF REPS FOR THE MINUTE. 

WHEN THE LAST PERSON STANDING FAILS...REST 2 MINUTES THAN SWITCH TO PUSHUPS FOR ROUND 2.  FOR TOTAL REPS OF EACH.

Pullups- 10 rounds + 8 reps = 53 reps (I think...I forgot to write down my numbers in my book) 1-1-3-3 assistance.

Pushups- 7 rounds + 5 reps = 33 reps ( I'm pretty sure this number is right)  I did full pushups on rounds 1-3 and rep #1 of round 4, from then on out I did negatives. 

I actually started on pushups. I knew that I was going to be worse on these than pullups.  I am OK with the score for the pushup round, but I wish I was better at the full pushups not switching to negatives til at least round 6.

In retrospect, I wish I had only used the 3-3 band assistance on the pullups.  My numbers may have been lower, but I would like to start working in the less assistance for some workouts and this is a good one to do so on.
