Incline Pike Pushup 3 15 12,12,12

Overall not a bad workout - I'm starting to work in different workout plans to mix things up.


The Pull-ups here were based on the Armstrong pull-up plan, which has you do pullups 5 days a week.  The Wed workout is to do 3 sets of each type of pullup (which I was already doing) but to pick a number that you can complete all 9 sets of - you don't want to pick a number that you wont be able to complete or 9 sets.  So I started with 6.  I'll continue it tomorrow with the next day of that workout.


Moved my leg lifts to Toes to Bar, of which I can only get about 5 in for each set, but then I do 5 more regular leg raises after that for each set.


Also, made the knee raises a little harder by trying to hold the hollow position at the bottom before raising legs up - eliminates any momentum I might have been using.


I also just purchased "Get Strong" the new book by the Kavadlo brothers, which lays out a 16 week program.  Once I'm done reading that I might switch over to that plan - as long as I'm consistent I am good.
Did some more exercises at lunch - did some pushups - one set of 15 of each type.  Then I did 2 sets of archer pushups - 3 on each side, and some progressively wider pushups focusing on using one arm more than other.
I did some dips as well - using assist machine with weight set to 60 and got in 3 sets of 20.  Plan to progressively decrease the assistance on these and do these once a week.
