Saturday's aren't great workout days when you go party on Friday nights....
however:
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.
Post number of minutes completed to comments.

Just got back. Didn't win a t-shirt, but my wife bought me one. I did do 25 20#wallballs in a minute and actually acheived a muscle-up on the rings! I need to buy some, or perhaps santa will provide (hint, hint).
All told the facility is awesome, the demonstrations were top notch and I WISH I LIVED THERE! Small town living is not for me.
