Normal Chelsea is an EMOM for 30 minutes.  I had only limited time so only reduced that to 20 minutes (more like Cindy).  My goal was to get in some high volume Pullups.

So, do EMOM for 20 minutes:

  • 5 x Pullups
  • 10 x Pushups
  • 15 x Air Squats

Results:  Kept within the 1 minute for 12 rounds, then just continued until the end non-stop not really counting any more.   I think I got another 4-5 rounds in so 60-65 pullups total.
