repeat. Rest 30 seconds between exercises and 2 minutes between sets. Doing that I think you're looking at 30-35 minutes if you can do a significant number of pull ups in a set. My problem is I could probably do a max of about 5 pullups on the first set and then likely downhill from there, so I'd be stuck still having to do 75 or so after I'd finished everything else.

- That's one of the things I don't like about crossfit. Recovery time is important. I like the idea of crossfit, but I think it's way to easy to get - pmb Jan 15, 14:59 2

    - It's less about performance and more about injury. And its questionable that no rest provides benefit. You're just much more likely to injure - pmb Jan 15, 15:15
