Somewhat different (for me) today.
press-ups, floor to lock to floor. Sets between 4 min rest. Each set to failure.
Reps per set: 33; 21; 22; 26 (!); 23; 21
Between sets rest as I'm keen not to rush these as I want to ensure my form stays on track and so avoid those back-ache niggles.
A few notes. Floor was palms off the floor at the bottom of the movement. I'm not sure what's best here. Palms off means a full dead weight lift for the next rep, but perhaps keeping the palms in contact means no isometric rest for the muscles?
Failure? Can mean I don't subjectively feel I can do another rep, but in this case I made sure by attempting the push-up and actually failing (a bit like chin-ups!).
The distribution of reps here is odd. That 26 suggests 4 mins provides too much resting and maybe I should try 3 mins to ensure better fatigue? It was too late in the exercise, but I did wonder whether wall squats in the 'rest' periods might have been a good idea.
