I wanted to accelerate my Pull-Up and Push-Up work so I went with a good ol' standard: The Challenge. I wanted to up my numbers a bit, so I was going to go to 7 on the Pull-Ups, but on the first set, the Wide Grip, I could only get to 6, so I reset the number to 6. I also was thinking to go to 20 on my Push-Ups, but I didn't want to burn out too quickly so I lowered it to 17 for the first half, but eventually went to 20 reps from the second half. Below is the worksheet data:
Pretty much a standard workout, but the big difference was in the BURNOUT. Tony does a 1 pull-up to 3 push-ups combo, and I usually hammer out 11 rounds of that, but with the new numbers, 3 Pull-Ups and 5 Push-Ups, I could only get 8 rounds. I got an excellent pump and burn. And I still did the Push/Pull Challenges. But for them, I broke down the Push-Ups into a couple of sets instead of one set. I wasn't able to do the Pull-Ups as stated, 9-4-2, so I did a few more sets to keep the reps. I did 3-3-4-2. Then I did 30-30 for the Push-Ups. Arms were JELLO!
I decided to further punish myself by doing "I've got Abs" again. This time, those Push-Ups were brutal. I almost went to my knees, but I gutted it out. The Shoulder Care Yoga and the Flows were fine.
In the end, I burned a good 783 kcals. While I'm freestyling it, I think I'll do The Challenge at least once a week just to get a boost for Push-Ups and Pull-Ups.
