    Good going Heathens.

    Last day of wk 3 for me today:

    28/24/20/20/Max (32) - 122 in total

    Bloody hurt mind! Mucked up first sets too: should have been 22 then 30.

    Finished off with 4 sets of 7 handstand presses for the shoulders. Almost resulted in a broken neck! Still, got to fill my time in the hotel somehow!

    To be honest, I don’t think I could have done column three

    Although today’s session was done straight after a hard run

    Al, if you can do 26 at the end of the set you should probably jump ahead to week 3. You should be struggling to reach 10 for the 5th set of the first day.

    Yeah but that's after doing the other 4 sets. If you can do 26 on the 5th set, you must be able to do about 35-40 if you're fresh?
