Perfect Multi-Gym: The Perfect Pyramid Workout


 
Throughout the Perfect Pyramid workout, you will use the Perfect Multi-Gym to max out your reps on pullups, pushups and sit-ups. You will get a total upper body and core-strengthening workout by integrating push, pull and sit movements into one workout.

Follow the instructions below and be sure to practice common sense and safety while exercising. For a complete graph on movement reps for this pyramid workout, please refer to the images below.



Instructions:

·         You will be completing each set at your own pace, using the pyramid as a guide.
·         For every 1 pullup, you should do 2 pushups and 3 sit-ups (1 pullup, 2x pushups, 3x sit-ups).
o   Set 1: Perform 1 pullup, 2 pushups and three sit-ups, followed by a rest (30 to 60 seconds).
o   Set 2: Perform 2 pullups, 4 pushups, and 6 sit-ups, followed by a rest.
o   Continue up the pyramid, increasing your reps after every set until you reach your maximum level, then start back down the pyramid from there, decreasing your repetitions per set until you return to the bottom. Use variations of the pullup, pushup and sit-up movements during the sets (movement variations can be found here).
·         If you complete the entire pyramid, you will have performed 110 pullups, 220 pushups, and 330 sit-ups.

Ready to see how far you can go? Good luck!
