Today's Sally

[Mike T]

Chinups, 5 minutes = set + rest: 4 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1. All sets to failure.

In the 5 minutes there is clearly scope for squats lunges and so on.

Dumbbell bicep curls 2x10kg. Eccentric lowering (count of 5). 3 min rest between sets
29-22-18-14-12-12-10

Off to Scotland tomorrow and will be either wild camping or sleeping in the back of the Subaru for a few nights, so unlikely to have any internet access until later in the week. Probably have to skip doing multiple sets!

[Mike T]

Press ups, chest to floor, all sets to failure, set + rest = 5 minutes: 23 - 17 - 14 - 13 - 13 - 13 - 13 - 12.

[Mike T]

The first 4 "sets" were pull ups, the last 4 chin ups. Set + rest = 5 minutes. All sets to failure.

1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 2.

These were the first pull ups for perhaps 2 years.

[Mike T]

Press ups, chest to floor, set + rest = 5 minutes. 23 - 17 - 15 - 14 - 14 - 12 - 11 - 11.

Finished just in time for the penalty shoot out.

[Mossdog]

3 mins sets and rest inclusive, chest, ab, kness press-ups.

27 (what!!) - 22 -13 -13 -11 - 13 - 12 - 11

Back home from a few nights 'wild camping' and running in Scotland. Obviously, sleeping rough has impacted on my press-up ability somewhat

[Mossdog]

Bicep curls - dumbbells 2x20kg. Eccentric lowering
set + rest = 3 mins

31 - 12 - 13 - 13 - 13 - 13

I should have remembered that 3 mins and eccentric lowering is not really sufficient time for the first set, as it only left a brief rest period before the onset of the 2nd set.

[Mike T]

For reasons unrelated to exercise I need to give these a rest for a while.

[Mossdog]

Press-up. Chest and abs to the floor Sets + rest = 3 mins

31 - 25 -15 -18 -14 - 14 - 12 - 10

[Mossdog]

Bicep curls - dumbbells 2x20kg. Eccentric lowering

Change of schedule so now each set is followed by 2 mins rest. I found it too difficult with the previous method as there wasn't sufficient rest time when doing eccentric lowering - at least following the first set. It made set 2 really tough. All sets performed to failure. Failure always occurred on the eccentric part of the rep. I just began to lose control of the speed of descent! A bit like in life maybe

36 - 21 - 18 - 16 - 13 - 10
