Today's Sally

[Mike T]

Chin-ups, EMWM for 48 minutes. 24 pairs, 24 singles. So 72 in total. Unweighted.

Towards the end of the pairs, I started them 5-10 seconds late; to get a decent recovery, having started doing this, I had to continue, though once on the singles, I went back to starting on the minute.

Tried a 1m15s dead hand this morning.

[Mike T]

Chest to floor press-ups, EMWM, 6 sets: 3 of 10, 3 of 8. Only just managed to squeeze in that last set of 8.

Wow - so much harder than with a bar - and probably not enough recovery time since my last press-up session.

1 mins 32 secs deadhang with gloves.

Followed by:

EMOM Chin-ups 30mins worth

9 x 3 chin-ups followed by 21 x 2 chin-ups and = 69

I didn't bother with 1/2 or 3/4 attempts this time - KISS!

Followed by 3 mins 6 sec plank (elbows).

...and probably not enough recovery time since my last press-up session.

I should think so, after that mammouth effort (not to mention the mega fell runs!)

[Mike T]

Chin-ups, EMWM for 50 minutes. All singles. So 50 in total. Weighted - using a backpack, total extra eight 4.1 kg. My partner had nicked the little weights that take it up to 5 kg for her yoga class.

[Mossdog]

Deadhang 1 mins 39 secs (creeping back up again! - although creaking might be more opt)

Plank: 3 mins 32 secs. I'm not sure this exercise is of much use really, and I read it has mixed reviews.

EMOM - sets of 11 press-ups, floor to lock to floor. Time in secs remaining for each min.

44 - 43 - 43 - 43 - 44 - 43 - 40 - 39 - 32 - 29

Well done Mike. I was listening/viewing a YT vid of someone using weights to improve their pull-ups. But given that I can't yet even manage the requite 5 pull-ups needed to bother starting with weights it was really all wishful thinking on my part!

[Mossdog]

Similar pattern as to yesterday

Dead hang 1 mins 27 secs (going backwards)

Plank: 3 mins stop.

And repeat EMOM - sets of 11 press-ups, floor to lock to floor. Time in secs remaining for each min.

41 - 42 - 42 - 42 - 42 - 42 - 38 - 37 - 31 - 22.

Obviously much harder today as a repeat for yesterday's regime. I did however use a non-slip exercise mat, rather than the bathroom floor, which may have helped in some ways, but tended to narrow my hand-placements a little. No sure if it was an advantage or what.

Press-ups with a bar, weighted: 5 kg. 10 EMWM for 15 minutes, so 150 in total.
