Day 10

So here is the plan for today


Starter Workout #3 Sets Reps Actual
Step Up 3 15  15,15,15
Feet apart Pushups 3 10-20  20,20,20
Parallel Bar Dips 3 10  7,7,7
Incline Australian Pullups 3 5-10  10,10,8
Flex Hang   30  25,30,30
Sit Up 3 20  20,20,20
Straight Bridge   60  50


This morning after my run I did the Step Ups (though now that I look at the progressions in the book, I think a full Range of Motion Squat was next in line) and the Incline Australian Pullups this morning (I was able to get 3 sets of 10 of the incline Australian pullups but my last two reps on the last set my form kind of failed and I didn't quite get my chest to the bar so I'm not counting those - trying to be honest with myself here).  I'll get the rest in at lunch.  Note that I have upgraded the Squat exercise and the Dip exercise this workout.  Hopefully I'll max out some of the others soon and move those up too - patience and time though, no rush.


At lunch I was able to hit the max on the pushups and the situps, but per my earlier rule, I will repeat those and make sure I can do it two workouts in a row before I move up to the next progression.  Flex hang went a little longer on the hands forward position - still a lot of shaking but maybe less than last time.  I might need to keep going on that one until I can do it without shaking.  Dips were new, was able to get out 3 sets of 7 reps - not bad for my first workout there.  I haven't done dips in a long, long time.  Overall, a good day of workouts.


Ran 9 miles this morning as well.
