21-18-15-12-9-6-3 SDLHP
3-6-9-12-15-18-21 Sit-ups
First round is 21 SDLHP, 3 Sit-ups, next is 18 SDLHP, 6 Situps and so on.

  Without getting too technical what we in the Crossfit world are looking for is more work, done faster.  We'll explore these two terms and understand what they mean.  More work can come in a variety of ways whether it is more weight lifted, or a lighter band used, this represents an increase in work.  Another example would be more rounds of Cindy more work done.  Conversely as some you saw in the performance testing when the work parameters stay the same but the work gets done faster, we see a rise in power production.  And ultimately we look for either in our advances in crossfit. Especially in the beginning more work can be just as rewarding as it being done faster. Stepping up from ring rows to band pullups and then from band to band is a huge accomplishment. And it also represents an increase in work.  Try to view your accomplishments in these terms.  Perhaps you did a workout slower than you did it before but used a lighter band, or a heavier weight. This represents an increase in work.
