Chest to floor press-ups, 6 EMOM for 17 minutes, so, again, a total of 102.
Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. 1 min break between sets. Curl Reps were to failure, per set.

Today I've dithered. I started off churning out 31 press-up before the morning shower, and intended to do another 3 sets of 30+ throughout the entire day -just for a change. However, after the second batch (30) at lunch time, I realised this was probably not the most efficient way of exercising, so reverted, just now, to good 'ol EMOM - sets of 10 press-ups, floor to lock to floor.
Time in secs remaining for each min.
46 - 46 - 46 - 45 - 45 - 45 - 41 - 42 - 41 - 37.
Now I can rest :)
I can understand why you changed your plan - having those sets hanging over you for the rest of the day ....Quote:

EMOM, 2 chin-ups, 20 minutes. So 40 in total. Hot work - the box room faces south.
Just spent some wonderful days backpacking and wild camping, along the Pennine Way to Keld; westwards to Nine Standard; along the Tan Hiil to Kirkstone Inn Over The Hill route as far as Cautley; and then a circuit of the Hows. Cracking weather! Glorious bivvys on the tops.

Thanks for minding the thread Mike.
Still waiting for my post on the 'jab' thread to be posted. Seems it's been moderated out...for posing some questions - again!
Press-ups (floor to lock to floor) to failure per set - 1 min recovery intervals between sets.
29 - 12 - 14 - 10 - 11 - 10 - 9
Okay, I'm going to say you're an MV60.Quote:

I have spent a while opening a door with a brocken lock - the rotating bit had detached from the bit that sticks into the metal bracket in the door frame. I eventually managed to break the bracket by bending it back and forth until metal fatigue set in. Hard work!
Playing safe (again)
More EMOM press-ups - 10 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.
Seconds remaining for each of the sets.
48 - 46 - 48 - 48 - 47 - 47 - 48 - 46 - 42 - 39
Damn right! Them there resistance training thingies are paying off big time. Just be gentle when you're shaking people's hands :cool:Quote:

I'm smiling at that efficiency of effort. And you've reminded me I'm letting chin-ups and pull-ups slip again. I tend to placate my guilt by reminding myself that indoor rowing satisfies the 'pull' muscles, but in reality I know I'm just being a coward.Quote:

Sawing it into manageable chunks so I could drag it away to the byre provided further resistance training.
Anyway, I'm setting the scene for why my EMOM times were slower than usual today:
EMOM press-ups - 10 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.
Seconds remaining for each of the sets.
42 - 41 - 42 - 43 - 43 - 43 - 41 - 38 - 37 - 26
On the penultimate set I really wondered whether I was going to make this standard exercise!
8 chest to floor press-ups E2MO2M x 15, so a total of 120. Lunges etc in-between. 2 minutes was just right.
EMOM 10 x 10 is my target!
Still avoiding pull-ups :)
EMOM chin-ups. 10 sets. Straight arm hanging to chin over the bar, back to straight arms. So, not a set number of reps each set, but given I can only manage a puny few per set it's just how many I could churn out, which doesn't take much time per minute! Definitely no hanging around.
4 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3
Well done! Doing EMOM chin-ups to failure means that the second set comes far too soon. Like you I find that after a series of 2's some 3's seem possible.Quote:

23 (10) - 17 (10) - 10 (10) - 11 (10) - 10 (10) - 9 (10) - 8 (10)
Now, that's showing off Mike! Seriously, very well done.Quote:

E3MO3M chest to floor press-ups to failure: 21-10-9-10-10-10-9-10-11-11 - then 4 chin-ups for fun.
So a total of 111 press-ups.
Reminded myself what this thread was initially about...Sally Press-up Challenge 2 mins 14 seconds and very ugly effort too. I need to focus on isometrics...need to focus on isometrics...need to focus on isometrics...:rolleyes:
EMOM press-ups routine. 11 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.
Secs remaining for each of the 10X 1 min sets.
44 - 44 - 44 - 40 - 41 - 41 - 32 - 26 - 22 - 3 Phew!!! Close to failure.
25 sets to failure, 2 minutes = set + rest, first 15 sets chin-ups, last 10 sets chest to floor press-ups:
5-4-4-3-3-3-2-2-3-2-2-2-2-2-2/19-10-8-8-7-8-7-8-7-7. So 41 chin-ups and 89 press-ups.
High Five Mike!Quote:

Yes, high 5 Mossdog!
Today's session: 12 sets chest to floor press-ups to failure, 3 minutes = set + rest.
22-11-11-10-9-9-9-9-9-8-7-8. So a total of 122.
I was allowed to post this in reply to Mikes's comments on the 'decline the jab' thread so I'm doing it here...
That's a good point. I don't know what it means either. But if the WHO has a recommended level for contamination one presumes that having too much is bad.
Philip Buckhaults is a cancer genomics expert, and professor at the University of South Carolina who has testified before a South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Ad-Hoc Committee saying that Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine is contaminated with billions of tiny DNA fragments. He has concerns.
https://brownstone.org/articles/rese...fizer-vaccine/
The BMJ back in 2021 also had some concerns about the quality of the vaccine production process.
https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n627
Is this a big deal? I don't know.
Yes, like you say, our bodies are exposed to foreign DNA all the time. But the difference between ingesting say, a Gregg's pasty orally, and having it injected into your body is that the LNPs ( lipid nanoparticles ) in the jabs enable material to get through the cell membrane, which normally would be kept out.
Apparently, the essential components of LNP are man-made. It seems that their use in humans was forbidden prior to 2020. This rule was changed with the emergency use approval of the COVID RNA-vaccines. The packaging material is essential to protect RNA from destruction so that it can travel in the bloodstream to reach all organs of the body. They are taken up by cells and their cargo is then released. Production of the spike protein and triggering of the immune response follow, leading to formation of specific antibodies that are supposed to protect against future infections.
From what I've read, once DNA has been aided into the cell, there is a chance (presumedly very very small)of it influencing with your own code and stuff being activated or deactivated that results in bad news for health.
Of course, all medical treatments, from simple to complex entail an element of risk, and we make our choices for treatment following our own judgement of the risk, but supported by our trust, or otherwise, in the experts. I find it very difficult to navigate between sources of information which imply that we shouldn't worry our little heads and rest assured that the pharmaceutical companies have our best interests at heart, and the other extreme of some rabid, swivelled eyed anti-vaxxers and they supporters claiming an evil global conspiracy. But I do know that medical mistakes happen and that the authorities have a very poor track record of coming clean (no pun intended) with the public about these until well after the event(s).
All very confusing, but interesting too. Food for thought (and that's orally not intravenously)
2 chin-ups EMOM x 20, so 40 in total. That 40th one was hard work.
You're positively crushing this Mike - great stuff. You're shaming me to up my game, especially with those darn chin-ups....grrrhQuote:

EMOM chest to floor press-ups, 6 reps x 25 minutes, so a total of 150. I had to spread them out a bit for the last few minutes.
2 chin-ups EMOM x 25, so 50 in total. That 50th one was not as difficult as the 40th one was the last time I did chin-ups.
