ALTERNATING LADDERS
This set involves alternating ladders between two exercises. Perform exercise 1A as 10 reps down to 1 rep and exercise 1B as 1 rep up to 10 reps. Do 10 reps of 1A, then 1 rep of 1B, 9 reps of 1A, then 2 reps of 1B, 8 reps of 1A then 3 reps of 1B. Continue this pattern until you get down to 1 rep of 1A and then 10 reps of 1B. Perform the next sets in the same fashion. If there is a right and left side, perform the indicated reps on each side.
