I didn't fancy that last set this time. It's been a while since my last cheat 300 and chin ups are always the first exercise I get weak on, making that final set a torturous sequence of low or single reps for the last 5 minutes.
However, 24 minutes is not a bad time to get that far, which I attribute to the fewer sets I required overall. I have realised that a narrower grip (shoulder width) is much better for the floor wipers, which reduced the sets to 3. Could even get this to 2 next time.
I will try to throw a few more random chin up sets into my normal activities so that when I come to my periodic 300 tests, that final set does not seem like quite such a mountain to climb.

Nice action. We must try this as a challenge some time.
We'd need a cross-fit gym to have the space and equipment for 2 people. Unless one of us watches the other one, then we swap and it's about comparing times...
That looks like a cool routine and once again I am reminded of the need to tackle it myself!
Random chin ups are pretty useful as a means to building volume. I use a similar 'informal' Greasing the Groove approach myself where I will simply throw a couple of chin ups in to the mix between sets in the gym (or indeed anything that I can pull up on - including trees, or in the park etc...).
Asclepius - I am getting back into the outdoor random activities a bit more again. I have started looking for ways to increase my confidence running down steep mountains. I have found that 'post running' is a good one. Planning to do a video at some point. Watch this space.
