30 sets, not to failure apart from changing from 2 to 1 chin-ups; 1 minute = set + rest.
First 15 sets: all single pull-ups.
Last 15 sets: 8 double then 7 single chin-ups.
So 38 efforts in total.

Just added post in the new shiny 'PT Hall'- otherwise know as strength-conditioning-training sub section on Discord :)
8 sets to failure, no specific timings, single arm chest from/to floor knee press-ups, alternating arms, starting with the right:
RA: 10 - 8 - 6 - 6.
LA: 3 - 4 - 7 - 3.
Getting the hand position correct seems crucial - just out from the ear works best for me.
What do I look for once into Discord?Quote:

Chin-ups, pairs, 2 minutes = set + rest, 20 sets, so 40 in total. In fact the last set was 3 so 41.
No sore shoulder recently - was it just volume rather than a specific exercise?

That felt hard today - and that 1 armed toe push-up is still impossible.
A mixture today.
2 sets of 20 archer press-ups, alternating sides.
10 sets of one armed chest to floor knee press-ups, alternating sides, totalling 35 on the R and 34 on the left.
4 hangs in the up position using the handles at their highest setting: 35 40 30 30 seconds.
Handles just above the floor, both arms toe press-ups: 7 - 4 - 4 - 4.
I had forgotten how hard press-ups using handles/hoops are - normally the floor and friction provide lateral stability - not with handles/hoops.
No specific timings - session took 52 minutes.
Pressups - with relatively fresh arms - using the handles/rings/hoops - 5 sets to failure; rest - until I felt I'd recovered.
13 - 11 - 8 - 8 - 7.
I must try this with one arm on my knees - the wobbling should be interesting.
Press-ups (on toes) with hoops, both arms, 10 sets to failure, no specific rest period, session took 35 minutes:
9 - 10 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 7 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 6.
I then tried a one armed knee hoop press-up - nearly but nope - arm too knackered.
25 sets of 2 chin-ups; no specific rest time but the session took 41 minutes.
Press-ups.
I started with a single right arm hoop knee press-up - success - I will try a left arm one next time.
Then, on toes, hoop press-ups, 10 sets: 14 - 8 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 6 - 5 - 5 - 5.
Then one arm knee press-ups: R: 4 - 5 - 5 - 4 - 4. L: 5 - 5 - 4 - 4 - 4.
No specific rest periods: session took 54 minutes.
Another 50 chin-ups, done in pairs, spread over 46 minutes. I must do something different next time.
Press-ups, one arm, alternating, on knees, 20 sets to failure or nearly so; session took 51 minutes:

L: 8 - 6 - 9 - 8 - 6 - 7 - 4 - 6 - 6 - 5.
Hmm - no progress of late.
2 chin-ups alternating with 1 pull-up. I only managed 6 pull-ups, stopped at 10 x 2 chin-ups. Session lasted 30 minutes.
Chin-ups, pairs, 15 sets, with 4kg in my backpack, session took 40 minutes.
Press-ups, one arm, on knees, with 5kg backpack, alternating arms, session lasted 30 minutes.
R: 6 - 8 - 7 - 7 - 6.
L: 7 - 7 - 6 - 6 - 6.
Pull-ups in the back plank position, using the handles/straps on my Porta-gym. So in the up position my weight is on my heels and on the handles. 5 sets to failure, session took 16 minutes.
20 - 17 - 15 - 15 - 15.
I raised the Porta-gym up onto four 9 inch plastic stools so it was high enough - just - for me to do chin-ups/pull-ups using the handles. 20 singles done in 24 minutes. My knees just touch the ground at the low point, which makes it somehow awkward to do more than one at a time. It is nice to have more freedom with respect to hand position.
Weighted - 5kg - one arm knee press-ups, alternating arms, session lasted 30 minutes.
R: 9 - 7 - 5 - 6 - 6.
