Use 25, 45, or 65 pound dumbbells. Use one of the C&J dumbbells as the load for the weighted pull-ups. Placing the dumbbell between legs crossed at the ankles works very well.

Time=15:46 with the 45lb dumbbells

I thought about using the 65s but Clayton did and seemed to regret it a little. I think I could have finished but I would not have been very out of breath because I would have had to wait so long for the strength to do the pull-ups.
I lost a little time due to two things: The first is I should have worked on my Dumbbell Clean and jerk more. On about the second or third set I got the motion down and sped up quite a bit. I also should have put down some bumper weights to lay the dumbbell on for the weighted pull-ups. My arms were not long enough to for my feet to reach the floor and pick up the weight. I had to take the time to stack a 45 and 25lb weight so I could reach.
