    Great improvement Mike - well done, especially after two straight days of EMOM.

    EMOM - sets of 11 press-ups, floor to lock to floor. After managing 23 sets of 10 press-ups previously, I thought I'd have a bash at 11 press-ups and as many EMON sets as poss. Well, 1 extra press-up is only 10% more per set, so how hard could that be? Seems, for me, it's very hard...

    Time in secs remaining for each min.

    46 - 46 - 46 - 46 - 46
    46 - 46 - 43 - 42 - 41
    38 - 33 - 27 - 15 - fail

    I've just spent a couple of days walking the fells around Swindale, Long Sleddale, High Street and Haweswater, with a wild bivvy camp in the slate quarry (out of the wind) above Mosedale bothy, so perhaps I can blame the poor effort this evening on a disturbed night's sleep

    Thanks - and well done! I have rarely slept well in a tent.

    Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. Eccentric lowering. Reduced to 1 min break between sets. Curl Reps were to failure, per set.

    EMOM - 6 chest to floor press-ups - 11 sets of 6 and 1 set of 5.

    Then chin ups - I was hoping to do 10 sets of just 2 every 2 minutes - but only managed 3 sets of 2, so did a further 9 "sets" of just 1.

    I was surprised that the press-ups affected the subsequent chin ups so much.

    set + rest = 3 mins . Floor to lock to floor press-ups to failure in each set.

    31 - 27 - 15 - 11 - 11 - 8 - 9 - 9

    I guess plateauing is better than decline

    Great progress again Mike. Those EMOMs are a bit addictive

    Oh dear! Worst than last time I tried these. Probably not helped by the 15K indoor row this morning, which was the longest I've rowed for many months, causing sore palms, aching derriere and mashed quads.

    Chin ups - 2 every 2 minutes for 7 sets, then 1 every 2 minutes for another 5 "sets". I thought that was enough.
