Today's Sally

[Mossdog]

2 chin-ups plus 7 chest to floor press-ups every 2 minutes for 24 minutes. Almost felt like I could do 1 more set - almost.

Almost - that's a great 24 minutes of workout!

Disaster for me today

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 - 43 - 44 - 42 - 38 - 38 - 31 - 18 - fail - fail

Sometimes the planet are definitely not in alignment!

Dumbbell bicep curls. 2 X 12.5 kg. Simultaneous lifting with both arms. Eccentric lowering. 2 mins break between sets, during which I did x( 10) reps of floor to lock to floor press-ups. Curl Reps were to failure, per set.

21 (10) - 21 (10) - 18 (10) - 11 (10) -11 (10) - 9 (10) - 9 (10)

2 chin-ups plus 7 chest to floor press-ups every 2 minutes for 32 minutes. Where did that come from?

Crikey Mike, that's a proper session!

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 - 43 - 44 - 42 - 42 - 38 - 35 - 29 - 19 - 6 Phew!

Off to the west coast of Scotland for a week and a bit so no posting until I'm back.

Alternating sets to failure of chin-ups and chest to floor press-ups; 2 minutes rest between each set; 7 sets of each.

Chin-ups: 5-4-3-3-3-3-2.

Press-ups: 21-17-14-13-13-11-10.

I saw a suggestion online re upper body body-weight exercises - do 40% of your reps to failure 5 times a day - spread throughout the day. I must say I would find that commitment quite daunting.

Just back from what is sometimes referred to as a Scottish aliment, but others call 'a week off' hem, hem

Spent most of the time swimming and running/hiking, so have let the core-ex slip abit.


So, an old faithful to get me back into the routine.

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

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

46 - 46 - 44 - 46 - 47 - 46 - 45 - 43 - 44 - 44

I'm being a bit dense here, but would that mean, say, blasting out 4 sets pressups to failure, then another 6 sets of press-ups to sub-failure, followed by later in the day doing the same 'batch' of exercises 4 more times?

So, if 30ish was my max to failure, I'd do (30 - 30 - 30 - 30 follwed by say 10 - 10- 10 - 10 - 10 -10) X5 ?
