Today's Sally

Chinups, 5 minutes = set + rest: 4 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1. All sets to failure.

In the 5 minutes there is clearly scope for squats lunges and so on.

Dumbbell bicep curls 2x10kg. Eccentric lowering (count of 5). 3 min rest between sets

Off to Scotland tomorrow and will be either wild camping or sleeping in the back of the Subaru for a few nights, so unlikely to have any internet access until later in the week. Probably have to skip doing multiple sets!

Press ups, chest to floor, all sets to failure, set + rest = 5 minutes: 23 - 17 - 14 - 13 - 13 - 13 - 13 - 12.

The first 4 "sets" were pull ups, the last 4 chin ups. Set + rest = 5 minutes. All sets to failure.

1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2.

These were the first pull ups for perhaps 2 years.

Press ups, chest to floor, set + rest = 5 minutes. 23 - 17 - 15 - 14 - 14 - 12 - 11 - 11.

Finished just in time for the penalty shoot out.

3 mins sets and rest inclusive, chest, ab, kness press-ups.

27 (what!!) - 22 -13 -13 -11 - 13 - 12 - 11

Back home from a few nights 'wild camping' and running in Scotland. Obviously, sleeping rough has impacted on my press-up ability somewhat :rolleyes:

Bicep curls - dumbbells 2x20kg. Eccentric lowering
set + rest = 3 mins

31 - 12 - 13 - 13 - 13 - 13

I should have remembered that 3 mins and eccentric lowering is not really sufficient time for the first set, as it only left a brief rest period before the onset of the 2nd set.

For reasons unrelated to exercise I need to give these a rest for a while.

Press-up. Chest and abs to the floor Sets + rest = 3 mins

31 - 25 -15 -18 -14 - 14 - 12 - 10

Bicep curls - dumbbells 2x20kg. Eccentric lowering

Change of schedule so now each set is followed by 2 mins rest. I found it too difficult with the previous method as there wasn't sufficient rest time when doing eccentric lowering - at least following the first set. It made set 2 really tough. All sets performed to failure. Failure always occurred on the eccentric part of the rep. I just began to lose control of the speed of descent! A bit like in life maybe ;)
