Death by…with options

I promise I am not trying to be confusing. Here is the longest workout I have ever described.

Workout the day

With a continuously running clock, do 1 pullup and 1 pushup in the first minute, 2 pullups and 2 pushups in the second minute, 3 and 3 in the 3rd and so on until you cannot complete the required work in a given minute.
Once you time out, pick up with death by pullups one minute, and death by pushups the next, alternating pullups and pushups until you cannot complete the required work in a given minute.

For example, you complete 12 full rounds, then do 13 pullups and 8 pushups – you are done – but..in the next minute do 14 pullups (and only pullups). The next minute switch, and do 15 pushups (only pushups!)

16 pullups the next minute, 17 pushups the next and so on until you cannot complete the required work. How long can you go!

If you were in the top 20% of the Open, you can (and should) do chest to bar pullups and deficit pushups – guys hands on a 45, ladies on a 25.
