At the end of 3 of the sets I got halfway up, but could not continue - it must make the next set that bit harder.

Good going again Mike. It is so frustrating when you reach that point when no amount of positive will power can breach that fatigue wall.

I'm having to take a few days off core-work after injuring my back yesterday (none training related) :(

Thanks Mossdog. I envy your numbers. A few weeks off again for me too.

EMOM press-ups routine. 12 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.

Secs remaining for each of the 10X 1 min sets.

41 - 39 - 41 - 39 - 38 - 36 - 36 - 23 - 7 - fail

Could do better :(

set + rest = 3 mins . Floor to lock to floor press-ups to failure in each set.

30 - 28 - 12 - 12 - 15 - 8 - 10 - 10

EMOM press-ups routine. 12 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.

Seconds remaining for each of the 10 sets.

41 - 41 - 40 - 38 - 33 - 30 - 26 - 11 - No chance! - fail

Interesting how a few days off to recover from back issues causes such a deterioration in performance. GRrrrrH

EMOM press-ups routine. This time just 10 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.

Pride restored. Sort of! While it's not easy, it's not quite the full workout. :rolleyes:

31 - 29 - 15 - 13 - 13 - 10 - 10 - 10

It's been a while since I tried these, due to some back issues. Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. Eccentric lowering. 2 mins break between sets during which I did sets of 30 rep squats. Curl Reps were to failure, per set. Lack of practice shows.

17 - 14 - 11 - 11 - 11 - 10 - 9

set + rest = 3 mins . Floor to lock to floor press-ups to failure in each set.

31 - 27 - 12 - 13 - 12 - 10 - 11 - 10
