Note: This workout is grueling and is not for the weak-minded.  Prepare mentally to do this workout.  On pull-ups and push-ups you will most likely not be able to do a lot of repetitions by the 6^th set.  When you can’t do any more repetitions continue to try your hardest to get at least one more.  Also, if you are not in that great of shape consider pushing the rest to 15 seconds.
