Confused
Ok, I am confused. Two Questions?
1. Do I alternate days for sets? I would guess that is so?
2. On Day 1, Week 1, I am supposed to do five sets. In set 1, column, 3-5, do I do 3-5 pullups twice and that is one set? Then Set 2 would be 1 at 3-5 pullups and set 5 is three x 3-5 Pullups?
3. Given that each column has a span of 3 to four from low to high, do I start with lowest or inbetween?
Any clarification would be helpful.

I'll try to clarify things a bit for you. If you did the initial test and got a result from 3 to 5 pullups, you'll follow the first column sets. So basically your first pull-up training day would be as follow:
2 pullups
120 seconds rest
1 pullup
120 seconds rest
1 pullup
120 seconds rest
2 pullups
120 seconds rest
3 pullups
And you are done for the day. The 3-5 ontop of the column just refers to what is the result of your initial test. You can choose the training days however you want to do them. As long as you have atleast one rest day inbetween training sessions. For example you could do the day 1 on monday, day 2 on wednesday, day 3 on friday.
Answer to point 3. I already answered, but just as a further clarification. Did you do the initial test? Because that tells you according to which column you should be doing your sets. The numbers after each set (on the same row) is the number of pull ups you should be doing.
In essence, if you can do a max of 3-5 pullups in one set, you chould follow that column, if 6-9 as max then column two, if over 10 then the 3rd column.
Perhaps repetitions would less confusing term than sets..
