Never Gymless question.

[Deleted member 412415]

So I've started using the 50-day routine laid out in Never Gymless, a bodyweight strength and conditioning book if you're not familiar with it. I completed a circuit training workout today that goes like this:
burpees, pull ups, squats, push ups x 1 minute each
burpees, pull ups, squats, push ups x 45 seconds each
burpees, pull ups, squats, push ups x 30 seconds each
burpees, pull ups, squats, push ups x 15 seconds each
I find it difficult to keep a good effort going in each of these exercises. Like i end up just hanging off the bar, unable to keep doing dead hang pull ups. So should I go as hard as I can and then slow down, or should I use an easier movement and maintain the same pace throughout?

For conditioning, it's important to keep moving. But, hey, even 1 rep is still 1 rep...

For conditioning, it's important to keep moving.

Indeed. And if strength in certain movements is a limiting factor in a conditioning routine, you might need to modify the exercises to fit your needs. Ross's template is not gospel; if you need to find a less intense form of upper-back work and substitute it for the pull ups, that is fine.

i find often times that people need to modify routines to fit their ability. it seems that a lot of these written routines are really hard for most people to complete right off the bat.

someone would probably do very well to create one with some progression.

thanks everyone for the answers. I think what i'll do is start off with dead hang pull ups, the go to kipping pull ups, then jumping pull ups, then negatives, etc. At least that'll keep me moving!
