Mix it up with rep ladders

Iron Wolf likes rep ladders: "25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18…. 1 of 6 count burpees." That's 325 altogether. Didn't know that? Here are some rep ladders, listed as highest number of reps, colon, total reps. They're easy to calculate even if you don't have a list handy.

  • 25:325
    • (25)(26)/2=325
  • 24:300
    • (24)(25)/2=300

    • (23)(24)/2=376
  • 22:253
    • (22)(23)/2=253
  • 21:231

  1. Thank you for this! I want to try one out, maybe 15 down. What a handy table.

  2. Ok I tried 15 down! My analysis: It's a great and tough workout, especially when you throw in pullups in between. I really enjoyed the format mentally though, because you know that every set will be smaller than the last. A great way to break it up! I will definitely be referencing this table and the neat [(A)(A+1)] / 2 formula again!
