This is a workout I got from the United States Navy Seals workout program.  It is intense!  Do this once a month or so to break through those plataues.  If you are struggling to increase your pullups, this workout will definately help.  WARNING VERY INTENSE!

So here it is:

1 pull up, 2 push up, 3 crunches

sound easy huh, don’t worry you will feel like you want to puke after you finish this workout.

2 pull ups, 4 pushups, 6 crunches

there is no relaxing during this routine just keep going:

3 pullups, 6 pushups, 9 crunches

starting to see a pattern??

4 pull ups, 8 pushups, 12 crunches

5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 crunches

Follow this pattern until you get to 10:

10 pullups, 20 pushups, 30 crunches

Your not done yet, this is a pyramid so you have to come back down:

9 pullups, 18 pushups, 27 crunches

Take this all the way until you get to

1 pullup, 2 pushups, 3 crunches

When I do this workout, I start feeling dizzy and nauseated.  SO that is your warning.  However I have never seen a workout break through plateus the way this one can.  So try it out, do it once a month.

If you cannot make it up to 10 go as high as you can (let’s say 7) then come back down.  Next time you do it try for one higher (let’s say 8.  Keep at it until you get to 10.  If you can get to 10 and come back down that works out to 100 pull ups, 200 pushups, 300 crunches.  I have made it as high as 12 and have come back down.  I spent the next 20 minutes trying not to puke.  You can do this workout in about 30 - 45 minutes.  Good luck and don’t say I didn’t warn you:
