Re: Chin-ups - Same number of total reps as on July 31st, but the first set was one rep less than last time. I messed up the rest interval between the second and third set. I performed four reps, dropped off the bar, and then began cranking reps again when I heard the timer go off. I forgot that I had a minute to rest between sets. Oops. Probably would have gotten more than 3 reps in the third set if I hadn't goofed up.
Re: Sit-ups - I still haven't got my pacing quite right to hit 50r in 1 minute. I hope to have the pacing right by the next PFT. Increased total reps by 21 over July 31 workout, and increased best set by 11r.
Re: Push-ups - First set was good, 5r better than July 31. Added 9r overall.
Summary: Disappointed with only getting 16r on the first set of Chins. I plan to do some DVR work to hopefully increase those reps in the next two weeks.
Pullups: 29 (14,7,4,4) - impressed by the first set, can't wait for PFT
Situps: 78 (33,19,15,11) - not satisfied by the quick fatigue
Pushups: 66 (30,16,12,8) - I definitely need to work on these!
Janet and I did ours together. Since we only have one place for body rows, she elected to go first there and I did my pushups first. Which allowed me to do something I haven't done since college! :)
