Complete as many rounds as possible in 5-minutes. Rest 3-minutes. Then repeat. Rest as little as possible and save all rest periods for the bottom of every round. Also, and very importantly, use LIGHT weight. There is no reason to go heavy at all – this is all about work capacity, not max strength.
