Today's Sally

Press-ups. Floor to lock to floor. Set + rest = 3 mins

34 - 22 - 16 - 15 - 13 - 11 - 11 - 11 - 10

Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. Eccentric lowering. 2 mins break between sets, during which I did x( 10) reps of floor to lock to floor press-ups. Curl Reps were to failure, per set.

22 (10) - 15 (10) - 12 (10) - 11 (10) - 12 (10) - 12 (10)

Alternating sets of 2 chin-ups and 6 press-ups, sets done EMOM for a total of 20 minutes, by which time I was approaching failure in both exercises.

I have been rather distracted with running recently so I though I had better do both exercises before my body forgets how to do them.

Attempted the Sally press-up challenge again this morning and couldn't get over 2 mins 30 mark, I've been aiming for recently. I managed 2 mins 18 sec.

This pm did EMOM chin-up of 2x reps per set and managed 30 sets with times remaining above 50 secs until sets 27 and beyond when 48 secs were recorded. Not a very efficient exercise (2 reps) as it wasn't until last few sets that it began to bit, so quite slow. Also, having tried (and failed!) x3 reps per set of the standard 10 set EMOM, that left me with a 'comforting' ache in my abs for the following couple of days, letting me know I'd done some 'proper' work :D

You see! That's what I should have been doing instead of messing on...

If only - I only did half that.

Chin-ups, 2 EMOM for 10 minutes, then 1 EMOM for 20 minutes, so a total of 40. I could have done 1 or 2 more ....

Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms.Eccentric lowering. 2 mins break between sets, during which I did x( 10) reps of floor to lock to floor press-ups. Curl Reps were to failure, per set.

24 (10) - 16 (10) - 11 (10) - 11 (10) - 11 (10) - 9 (10)
