2 chin-ups EMOM for 30 minutes, so 60 in total.
The guilt when I don't do a resistance session at least every 48 hours is almost palpable. And yet it is only the last few efforts of each session that require a bit of willpower.

I know exactly what you mean! If I don't run, row, or do some core ex each day I start to feel 'itchy' and slovenly. Truth is though, if I ran as frequently as you, and with those distances, I'd feel sorted for months aheadOriginally Posted by Mike T
Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. 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) - 17 (10) - 14 (10) - 10 (10) - 11 (10) - 10 (10) - 10 (10) - 9 (10)

I thought I would try Mr B's press-ups off a bar - I found them harder than "ordinary" press-ups, but not as hard as the chest to floor variety.
Press-ups off a bar, EMOM for 20 minutes, 10 reps x 8 sets, 6 reps x 12 sets. So 152 in total.
Press-ups (floor to lock to floor) to failure per set - 1 min recovery intervals between sets.

Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. Admittedly after the first few sets it descended (no pun intended) in shoddy eccentric lowering. Just 1 min break and no press-ups between sets. Curl Reps were to failure, per set. Great start, then tailed off rapidly not helped by weak grasp after the first set effort!!

EMOM 2 chin-ups for 25 minutes - so 50 in total - in fact 51, but number 52 I only got halfway up. I should have pressed on with singles of course, but it truly did not occur to me at the time.
EMOM - sets of 10 press-ups, floor to lock to floor. Time in secs remaining for each min.
42 - 43 - 43 - 43 - 43 - 41 - 40 - 39 - 39 - 38

That's pretty good going Mike! I'm still nursing an elbow niggle from the last lot of chin-ups I tried, which fortunately doesn't appear to bother press-ups or curls significantly.

Thanks Mossdog - I cannot expect continuous improvement.
I am surprised your dumbbell biceps curls have not prevented your elbow niggle, but I guess there is a big difference between half your body weight and 12.5 kg. And muscles become stronger more quickly than other body tissues.
Chest to floor press-ups EMOM for 30 minutes, 6 x 16 sets, 4 x 14 sets, so 152 in total.
