Notes:
GHD Situp = Situp using a GHD bench.  If you don't have access to one do an unsupported situp.
CTGU = Combined Turkish Getup.  Heavier weight goes in normal hand (one held overhead).  Bottom hand carries lighter weight.
Breathing Ladder = 1 rep, 1 deep breath, 2 reps, 2 deep breaths, etc. until top number is reached.  Once a ladder is finished, start the next... this is done continuously.  Control breathing as much as possible during recovery.  The longer this takes you, the better.

Notes:
Reps included for "max reps" sets are how many I was able to complete.  Complete all 5 rounds of each superset before moving on to the next.  Ensure you don't rest in between the two exercises, but take a sufficient amount of rest in between supersets.  If your performance drops off more than one rep with each set, you're not resting enough.
