First press-ups since the ninth of December - chest to floor, sets to failure, 3 minutes = set + rest: 18 - 10 - 9 - 7 - 7 - 5. If you don't do them you can't do them.

Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. Eccentric lowering. 2 mins break between sets during which I did sets of 30 rep squats. Curl Reps were to failure, per set.

Chin ups, the first since the 5th of December, sets to failure, rest + set = 4 minutes: 3 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 1.
Not as dramatic a drop as with my press-ups - quite pleased.

After a fish supper?
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Lunges instead of squats? This is what I have been doing between sets. To add to the difficulty I hold the squat position with arms out in front, then twist them 90 degrees to the side over the forward knee.Originally Posted by Mossdog
A few of pints of Rivet Catcher in Brough, before setting off on the long, dark, lonely drive home over the Pennines helped with the digestion.

Ummm...that sounds suspiciously like it's edging towards being....Yoga!!
Only joking, but I do need to focus on my squat technique as my knees crack and pop something awful, especially for the first few sets.
