EMOM - every minute on the minute - typically 10 press-ups every minute for 10 minutes. Do you do them as quickly as possible so you have a bit of a rest, or do you spread them over the minute? Up to you.
We are doing upper body exercises to help core strength - after all a press-up for example is just a moving plank.
It is good to choose objective exercises - exercises that cannot be cheated. So chest all the way to the floor and resting on it press-ups, or chin-ups - from fully straight arms to underside of chin on the top of the bar and back down again. Too many videos of press-ups show people cheating - their chest not getting anywhere near the ground, or their hips swaying down but their shoulder hardly moving. Or doing chin-ups starting with bent arms.
It is good to do upper body exercises to failure - so you could not do one more - you will know when you reach that point.
So choose an exercise - or two, or three, and away you go! Leave a couple of minutes - or more if you want - between sets. Mossdog and I have been doing chest to floor press-ups, chin-ups, pull-ups, and biceps curls. For the last of these you will need a suitable weight. Or have a go at EMOM - though as chest to floor press-ups are harder than normal press-ups start with say six unless you are pretty good at them.
Good luck!
