Ladder Workouts for Hindu Squats

I’ve been thining about using the concept of ladder workouts for bodyweight training and applying it to hindu squats.

I have to admit I haven’t tried this yet, so it may not work.  Usually with ladder workouts they increase the sets by 1 or 2 reps each time, but I was thinking of groups of 5.

My idea is:

5x hindu squats,5x hindu pushups

10x hindu squats, 10x hindu pushups

15x hindu squats, 15x hindu pushups

and so on until you reach failure.

This would provide a massive whole-body workout.  If it’s too much starting out I would suggest a rest after every 3 sets for about 1 minute or so and then continue on.

Very much an endurance workout and I would be interested in hearing how people adapt this idea to themselves and their own hindu squat workouts.
