Today's Sally

[Mossdog]

EMOM press-ups routine. 12 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.

Secs remaining for each of the 10X 1 min sets.

44 - 44 - 44 - 41 - 42 - 41 - 33 - 27 - 25 - 15

Interesting how suddenly one's strength falls off a cliff...

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

21 - 12 - 9 - 8 - 9 - 8 - 8 - 8

6 chest to floor press-ups plus 2 chin-ups every 2 minutes for 20 minutes. I stopped as I was getting close to chin-up failure, rather than actual "failure".

I must have a crack at mixing it up like that Mike - sounds very beneficial.

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

34 (best so far!) - 28 - 17 - 12 - 12 - 9 - 8 - 9

I did indoor row 15K earlier in the day, in 1 hr 8 mins - although it's not in anyway as much physical exertion as one of Mike's daily fell runs.

Well done with those press-ups Mossdog.

And thanks for the ongoing encouragement - it really helps.

Mixing the exercises in one session is less arduous, as not doing each set to failure seems justified.

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

19 - 14 - 10 - 8 - 9 - 8 - 8 - 9

For various reasons it was more convenient to have two days of dumbbell bicep curls, although surprisingly with relatively better performance on day 2 !

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

23 - 15 - 12 - 11 - 9 - 10 - 9 - 9

Biceps curls - 8kg bar - 1 set each arm to failure - R 42; L 25. First time I have done these for a while, though you would think chin-ups would help.

6 chest to floor press-ups plus 2 chin-ups every 2 minutes for 20 minutes. Again I stopped as I was getting close to failure - rather than actual "failure" - this time with both exercises.
