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:

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.

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.

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.

[Mike T]

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.

[Mike T]

Weighted - 5kg - one arm knee press-ups, alternating arms, session lasted 30 minutes.

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

Yet another attempt at a one arm toe press-up - yet another failure.

[Mike T]

Pull-ups using the handles of the raised Porta-gym. All singles x 30. Session lasted 40 minutes.
