set + rest = 3 mins Chest to floor, abs, knees to floor press-ups.
36 (Yaaay) - 22
-16 -11- 11 - 11 - 11
As I found with bicep-curls, I'm going to have to rethink this regime. I was chuffed I could churn out 36 'out of the bag' so to speak, but it meant that there was precious little time to rest before the start of set 2 (about 1 min). So set 2 was particularly brutal. After that I always had about 2 mins of the 3mins remaining for rest/recovery, and that seems to allow a 'base' number of reps of around 11 - which I could have continued.
Next time I'm going to return to a set rest period of 3 mins, regardless of how long each set takes to complete and see what effect that has. Not sure which is the best regime for strength building. May need to tweak the manner (elevated feet or add weight) of the first set to make that set harder and so reduce the number of reps. We'll see.
