EMOM chin-ups. 10 sets. Straight arm hanging to chin over the bar, back to straight arms.
4 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 2 - 2
Very hard. Had a few half chin-ups on some of the sets, but probably caused more failure than helped.

Well done! It can be hard to know if a particular effort should be persisted with - straining like mad half way up but then failing may well mean the subsequent set is dismal. But "failure" is good as it promotes muscle growth.Quote:

Chest to floor press-ups, EMOM routine, doing 6 per minute. 15 minutes. I only just managed to squeeze that final 6th press-up into the 60 seconds.
Well done - it feels good when the numbers go up.Quote:

Definitely over-reached myself - 2 reps would have been better and trying for a greater number of sets.
Also, for the last 4 sets I couldn't make the final (3rd) pull-up without letting the bar go, shaking my arms out before trying again, so not really proper form. I loath chin up!
Well done - that is a tough session - those 3s quickly add up.Quote:

Yesterday's chin-up routine has definitely played havoc with my abs. I'm sure that's a good sign though :rolleyes:
