It's a rather hard exercise for endurance. I'll try to describe it.



The exercise starts with max pull ups (for example 5 pull ups), then you take a rest for 10 SECONDS and you do 4 pull ups, then again 10 secs rest and 3 pull ups etc till one pull up.
After another 10 secs rest you do 2 pull ups etc till 5.
Then you do the same till 1.
And the the same till 5. That's all.

In result as you noticed all these cycles put together letter W.

If you do "W" with 5 pull ups well so you should go on with 6 pull ups etc.

Ukrainian record is W-10.

Total amount of pull ups at
W-2 is 8 reps
W-3 is 19 reps
W-4 is 38 reps
W-5 is 53 reps
W-6 is 76 reps
W-7 is 103 reps
etc.


Example W-3 :

"W" is the whole set. All the repetitions. W-pyramid. And W-5 means the max reps set in the exercise. That is 3 sets with 5 reps that we can see on the top of the letter W.

Share your result Smile I do full W-5. Going to try W-6.

But I do this stuff rare cos it exhausts very much. Too many fast pull ups almost withou rest. Pure endurance. I like slow and powerful movements more Smile

Nothing special. You know em well:

1) Wheited pull ups. Ability to do 10-15 pull ups with additional weight equal to 1/3 of your own weight.
2) Skew pull ups (assisted OAPs)
3) Typewriter on the bar and on the ladder like in Zef's vids are very useful.
4) Negatives. I do often L-arms - L-legs hangs like in my vid with front lever progression.

Hey, his nick doesn't include word "beast" Smile Therewith I think that's not too easy to do 53 push ups for about 3 minutes. Except push ups he spent about 2.5 minuts in lying support. That also needs endurance..
