First week of this down; did it as written, so three max effort pushup sets (around 100 total) after waking up and then the pull-up program as written (kept my "working set" conservative with 3 for this week):
8/21: 5 max sets, 90 seconds rest, top set 9, n=30
8/22: Pyramid, 10 seconds rest per rep, failed at 6 on the 7 ladder, n=32
8/23: 3x3 working sets (Regular, Chins, Wide), 60 seconds rest, n=27
8/24: Max working sets, 60 seconds rest, 16 sets, n=48
8/25: 5 max sets, 90 seconds rest, top set 10 , n=35
Went alright; kind of weird I could only get 10 consecutively when I could do triples with one minute rest for days (I stopped at 16 sets because I had a call), but whatever. I'll up working sets to 4 next week and see how it goes. Probably add in some volume dips too.
