Too knackered! C'mon Mike. Looking at the record you only ran 13 plus miles and a trifling 4hrs 30 plus mins yesterday. More spinach needed, surely

That's a huge improvement in 2 days.

That's a huge improvement in 2 days.

I wish! Previously, 11 reps per min.. Today 10 reps min.. That 10% difference per set is very significant and obviously cumulatively more challenging with each set. That's why I'm 50/50 fail at 12 reps. An extra 20% really hurts. The effort all becomes markedly difficult in the last 2 to 3 sets, where performance falls off a cliff. And once that happens your recovery time for the next set is diminished to the point it can be extremely hard. Give it a go?

I thought I should try this to show me how far away I am from Mossdog's 10 chest to floor press-ups EMOM for 10 minutes.

EMOM for 15 minutes, the first 3 sets were 10, all the rest 5. I chose 5 as after those 10s I could not do any more in that 4th set, and thereafter it made the counting easy.

So a total of 90. Sets of 10 are tough with so little recovery.
