Day 16

Got my stretching in - sciatic pain is getting better - so did the pushups, flex hangs and straight bridge today after stretching.  Plan for this (and tomorrows) workout is


Starter Workout #3 Sets Reps Actual
       
Pushups 3 10-20 25,13,13
Parallel Bar Dips 3 10  
Incline Australian Pullups 3 5-10  
Flex Hang   30 30,30,30
Sit Up 3 20  
Straight Bridge   60 60


Flex hang felt better, I kept track of the shaking on the overhand grip and it started around 20 seconds into the hang which I think is better.  I'll do at least one more day of that before moving on to the pullups.


For pushups I went with 3 sets of max reps, the first set was obviously longer than the rest, but it was actually by more than I thought it would be.  Strength rules actually states one set of 30 reps, so I think I'll try to get to 30,20,20 before moving on.


Bridge was fine and I think I'll move on to the leg raises next time.


More tomorrow - short 1 mile run today, no pain, but still felt stiff to the point where I felt if I tried to open it up and speed up a bit, the pain would start.
