good and effective short workout. the weighted vest is really cool. watch out for way more weighted pullups in the future. :)

ok...this was awesome. seriously. i wanted to condense these long sessions and so i got the idea (from the boards) to break the pullups up and insert them between strength sets. i wouldn't do this between sets of push presses or anything specifically involving upper body strength, but it worked like a charm between squat and deadlift sets!

it worked so well that i'm going to try it again. it was almost like i crossfitted a catalyst workout, if that even makes any sense. i still waited between sets (and after the pullup sets as well), so i wasn't being speedy about it. i think it still ended up condensing the time though and during it i felt great - completely in "the zone" and ready to rip something apart.
