Today's Sally

[Mike T]

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.

[Mike T]

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.

[Mike T]

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.

[Mike T]

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.

[Mike T]

Another 50 chin-ups, done in pairs, spread over 46 minutes. I must do something different next time.

[Mike T]

Press-ups, one arm, alternating, on knees, 20 sets to failure or nearly so; session took 51 minutes:

R: 9 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 8 - 8 - 6 - 6 - 6 - 4.
L: 8 - 6 - 9 - 8 - 6 - 7 - 4 - 6 - 6 - 5.

Hmm - no progress of late.

[Mike T]

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.

[Mike T]

Chin-ups, pairs, 15 sets, with 4kg in my backpack, session took 40 minutes.

[Mike T]

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.
