Today's Sally

[Mossdog]

Dumbbell bicep curls 2x10kg. Eccentric lowering (count of 5). 3 mins rest between sets.

40 - 22- 14 - 14 - 13 - 12 - 12

Every Minute On the Minute (EMOM) press-ups routine. That's 10 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups every minute for 10 minutes.

After Sunday's second EMOM proved disastrous (following my hubris on the first attempt left me contemplating doing 12 reps per set), I had to give it another go.

Secs remaining for each of the 10X 1 min sets.

41 - 41 - 38 - 44! - 44! - 43! - 41 - 39 - 39 - 32

Clearly, Sunday's effort was an aberration.

Some days, eh...

The real Bring Sally Up challenge attempt again. 2 mins 28, so a fail, and a long way short the whole challenge, but just 3 secs behind my record.

I thought I might have slipped passed my record so far given the multiple reps Ive been doing recently. I attempted this with standard press-ups (not chest/abs/knees to the floor), as I think resting my body on the floor would make the isometric element too easy, albeit a greater range of motion.

Strained my forearm today doing 45kg barbell bicep curls (sets of 15). Quite a bit heavier than i'd usually go for.... worked up from 35kg-40kg, then a weak point was found in my forearm.

Thankfully due to xmas and races i won't be back at gym until wednesday.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that Travs. Hope it's sorted soon and doesn't interferer with Christmas Cake handling and such.

I used to use a bar, many years ago, but I found it often led to lower back issues for me. Im sure it was my poor technique, but I've avoided since and try to keep the dumbbells as close to my body as possible, and that seems to work. Having said that I'm aware I'm clocking up too many reps in the first sets, so will see if I can add some weight, althoguh my aged weights have limited combination opportunities. We'll see... MERRY CHRISTMAS
