Today I was due to do a pull-up/chin-up session, but with this morning's run and preparing my dinner there was not a lot of time left. I did have a spare few minutes after putting the veggies in the oven before adding the pasta and I managed to do 10 right armed chest from/to floor knee press-ups, and - AND - 1 on the left. Progress.
Well done on both the cullinerary prowess (with weights?) and succeeding with the left!Originally Posted by Mike T
After an earlier 15 k indoor row, some 'pushing' seemed in order, so...
EMOM press-ups routine. 10 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 15 minutes.

30 sets, first 15 sets pull-ups, the rest chin-ups, 2 minutes = set + rest.
Pull-ups: a triple, 6 doubles, the rest singles.
Chin-ups: a four, 2 triples, the rest doubles.
So 57 efforts in total.
I did precede this with 15 right armed knee chest from/to floor press-ups, and - boo-hoo - 0 on the left.
More pull-ups and chin-ups...gently does it still.
Only 20 mins worth again, of 40 x 30 secs, alternative reps of 2x CUs then 1x PUs. Keeping to slow, eccentric lowering on each rep.
So far, resisting the temptation to go for max reps to failure during a set.
Dead hang this morning: 1 min 43 secs (gloves)

And some more pull-ups and chin-ups. Pushing the limits, but avoiding elbow pain (hopefully).
25 mins worth today, so 50 x 30 secs sets, consisting of alternative sets of 2 x reps of CUs followed by 1x PUs. Eccentric lowering on each rep. I should admit, that the final 3 or 4 sets of pull-ups were perhaps best described as 'aspirational' or 'bar adjacent', although perhaps that gave them a better training impact.

Well done - chin above bar is what I aim for, but sometimes it is tip of chin level with bar.
15 sets, 2 minutes = set + rest, first 10 sets right armed knee chest from/to floor press-ups; next 5 sets left arm knee press-ups off a 12 inch stool, going down until my nose was a few too many inches above the stool.
10 - 3 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3.
20 - 11 - 10 - 9 - 9.
I did try a left arm from the floor knee press-up - no - but I have been doing some off a wall so I imagine the relevant muscles are tired.
I have read that you need to be able to do 16 one armed knee press-ups in one set to have a reasonable chance of doing a single one armed toe press-up.
Impressive - but I'm not doing those

I don't believe it but ....
One armed chest from/to floor knee press-ups, sets to failure, no specific timing, alternating arms:
R: 13 - 9 - 7 - 7.
L: 2 - 7 - 5 - 2.
Where did that L arm 7 come from?
Good going Mike. We did mention that the use of mechanical bio augmentation enhancements was outlawed, didn't we ?
EMOM press-ups routine. 12 reps (floor to lock to floor) press-ups, every minute, for 10 minutes.
41 - 40 - 40 - 40 - 40 - 37 - 34 - 32 - 29 - 20...v. close, and the last couple of sets not at all pretty.
