Press-ups, using a bar rather than chest to floor: EMOM for 26 minutes, 10 per set. So 260 in total.
This must be muscle learning and coordination, rather than hypertrophy/strength.
EMOM - 10x sets of 11 press-ups, floor to lock to floor. Time in secs remaining for each min.
44 - 43 - 43 - 42 - 42 - 39 - 39 - 33 - 33 - 29.
Dead hang 1 min 39 sec - gloves.

From 98 to 160 to 260 in eight days. I find it hard to believe.
I use a 3 kg weighted bar at right angles to my body - each end is resting on a thick book and a knee pad so that where I place my hands is several inches off the floor. I go down until the lower part of my chest is roughly level with the bar.
Chin-ups, EMOM for 43 minutes: 5 triples, 7 doubles, the rest singles. So 60 in total. Unweighted.
Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms.Eccentric lowering. 2 mins break between sets, during which I did (x10) reps of floor to lock to floor press-ups. Curl Reps were to failure, per set.
24 (10) - 19 (10) - 15 (10) - 13 (10) - 13 (10) - 13 (10) - 12 (10) - 12 (10)

Interesting points here. I have wondered about this too. That is, the lack of eccentric tension on my EMOM press-ups because of the need to get the 10/11/12 or whatever no. of press-ups out within the minute and also allow enough(max) recovery time for the following set.
It's the key reason (not allowing eccentric time) why I don't use EMOM for bicep curls, and only time the periods between sets instead. Also, I'm very hesitant at rushing this reps as I know it will affect my form and possibly lead to injury, etc.
Any thoughts?

He does stress towards the end of the video that eccentric lowering is not of much benefit if the task is too easy - for example press-ups, if you can do say 30. So if you are doing only 10, then eccentric lowering is even more pointless.
There must be a study somewhere comparing eccentric and non eccentric lowering of the same exercise.
