Default Compression?

I am going to run a compression check on my engine. The meter says to pull out all of the plugs and disconnect the coil. Then it says to turn the car over for about 5 cycles. How will the car turn over it all the plugs are out of it?

Itll crank pretty fast, watch for the needle on the guage to bounce 5 times, then stop cranking. Note the reading you get and from which cylinder.
