Pack:
AMRAP 20:
3 Pull-ups
6 Push-ups
9 Squats

19 rounds + 3 pull-ups
Splits; :42, :47, :51, :54, :55, :57, 1:04, 1:05, 1:09, 1:03, 1:06, 1:09, 1:07, 1:01, 1:11, 1:09, 1:02, :57, 1:04

Pull-ups; I rolled a towel up and duct taped it along the rafter. It helped enormously. My hands didn't tear or even wear very much and the lack of pain from the square edges meant I could concentrate on kipping, which is coming along thanks to some remarks by LauraR and TP. Next step is a hollow pool noodle split lengthwise, draped over a section of PVC and taped to the rafter. That should set me up nicely.
Push-ups; The slowest part and where I took my 5 or 6 v. short pauses. Good form (I think), just hard.
Squats; Found the groove in the last 3 or 4 rounds. Need more practise.

Overall lack of fitness and probably inexperience with driving myself to the limit were the problems. I didn't have to rest and I kept moving except for the pauses in the push-ups, but I just couldn't sustain the necessary pace for the 20 rounds I've set myself as a target before going Big Dawgs on this.

Still, it's a 2 round PB.
