I'm smiling at that efficiency of effort. And you've reminded me I'm letting chin-ups and pull-ups slip again. I tend to placate my guilt by reminding myself that indoor rowing satisfies the 'pull' muscles, but in reality I know I'm just being a coward.

Yesterday, I had to fell a tree, single axe lumber jack style, so 25 mins of swinging, and I felt it this morning. It's actually the wrong time of year to fell tress, but circumstances dictated it's rapid removal to allow access. Sawing it into manageable chunks so I could drag it away to the byre provided further resistance training.

Anyway, I'm setting the scene for why my EMOM times were slower than usual today:

EMOM press-ups - 10 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.

Seconds remaining for each of the sets.

42 - 41 - 42 - 43 - 43 - 43 - 41 - 38 - 37 - 26

On the penultimate set I really wondered whether I was going to make this standard exercise!
