Death by Pull Ups and Tabata Plank

Start the clock. In the first minute do 1 pull up. In the second minute do 2 pull ups. In the third minute do 3 pull ups... and so on and so on. Do not stop the clock. Your rest period will get shorter and shorter as you progress. Obviously it does not take one minute to do one pull up but you have to wait until the clock hits 2 minutes before you start your next set. Get it? When you get to the point where you can't complete the pull ups within the minute you are done. You can stop and start within the minute to get all your pull ups in but you cannot go beyond the minute time limit.

Dubbs got 13 rounds... meaning he did 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+8+10+11+12+13 pull ups. Damn! I got 4 1+2+3+4 (boo). But I didn't use any assistance so I guess I'm getting somewhere.
