"Traditional" Pyramid Day

The idea here is to try to do a pyramid workout the way weightlifters do, with "light" sets at the beginning and increasingly heavier sets at the end.  But I am not using weights, so I am varying the difficulty with a new leverage or a new exercise or a new angle.

Push:

Shoulders inclined push-up:  30
Flat push-up:  25
Feet inclined push-up:  20
Dip:  15
Dip with 15 lb dumbbell:  12
Dip with 20 lb dumbbell:  10

Pull:

Over waist-high bar rows:  30
Waist-high bar rows knees bent:  25
Waist-high bar rows legs straight:  20
Feet on bench waist-high rows:  15
Feet on bench waist-high rows wide grip:  12
Neutral grip pull up:  10

Legs:

Body-weight squat:  30
Feet close together body-weight squat:  25
Walk Across the Floor Lunge:  20 each leg
Bulgarian Split Squat (Body Weight):  15 each leg
Hover Squat:  12 each leg
Goblet Squat, 60 lb dumbbell:  10
