Mainsite inspiration

Wasn't sure what workout to do today, but we'll go with the one from HQ just for the video clip that's posted along with it.

"Angie" - For Time:
100 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
100 Sit-ups
100 Squats

Do the exercises in the prescribed order, and finish all 100 reps before changing exercises.

We last did this one February 8th.

Not too far off last time. Did too much dicking around trying to be clever with my reps/rest scheme. Lesson learned.

Good job of getting a workout in while on vacation. What was the strategy, btw?

Justin said...

Tabata pull-ups using the gymboss (Thanks Seth.)

10 push-ups, 10 deep breaths x 10

10 situps, 5 deep breaths x 10

75 squats, 5 deep breaths, 25 squats.


Should have just gone all out for a near max set out of the gate on each of the exercises. I know I can get 30 pull-ups in a single set, but instead it took me almost 6 intervals, or 3 minutes, to get the first 30. Same story with the push-ups and sit-ups.


Oh well. I still got sweaty and tired.

Interesting.

Probably a bit long on the rest periods for this type of workout. Wonder if a shorter work/rest cycle scheme would be effective.

We need to do work in some Tabata intervals some time.

I needed to do more pull-up and push-ups after last night and this looked like fun.

The pull-ups were the hardest.
