So here's the results for today:
| Classic Workout #1 / #2 | Sets | Reps | Actual |
| Narrow Pushup | 2 | 20 | 20,20 |
| Wide Pushup | 2 | 20 | 20,20 |
| Pull-up | 3 | 5-10 | 6,5,5 |
| Neutral Pull-up | 3 | 5-10 | 6,5,5 |
| Chin-up | 3 | 5-10 | 6,5,5 |
| Hanging Knee Raise | 3 | 15-20 | 20,20,15 |
| Incline Pike Pushups | 3 | 15 | 15,10,10 |
| Dips (Knees up) | 3 | 10 | 8,8,8 |
Pull-ups felt pretty good - was able to add a rep to each type which I am happy with. I probably could have added a few more reps in the early set but wanted to make sure I could get through all the sets. The last set of the chin-ups I struggled a bit with the last rep so I think I planned it well.
Push-ups felt better than last time. I was able to get through 20 reps in each set, though my tempo may have been a little faster than it should be. I'll try slowing it down a little bit on the next workout. I am definitely feeling some definition forming in my chest though, which is nice.
No real progress on the knee raises, though I still feel the burn. But I still lose form toward the end of the third set.
Dips, I found another callisthenic workout that had dips with the knees up as the next progression so I did those. It was an awkward position for me and I was only able to get in 8 for each set. Strength Rules has Staggered dips as the next progression but at my gym I haven't found a way to do that as the dip stations have very small areas for gripping the bars. Luckily there is a wealth of stuff out there on the internet so I'll keep finding harder progressions as I move forward.
Incline pike pushups were hard today - probably because I did them yesterday. In retrospect I should have rested those today and just did them over the weekend. They felt week and uncomfortable and my reps were down. Hopefully they will be better on Monday.
