Wednesday 3 Oct 2007: ALT PULL-PU OTM
ALTERNATE PULL-UPS AND PUSH-UPS
ON THE MINUTE
ON THE MINUTE
Perform a set of pull-ups or push-ups at the top of every minute for twenty minutes. Perform pull-ups on the odd numbered minutes (1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19) and push-ups on the even numbered minutes (2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20). You will perform ten sets of each exercise. The alternating pattern will allow you to do more reps and/or more challenging reps in each set than you could do in superset fashion.
Advanced:
- Pull-ups or Chin-ups
- Push-ups, Dips, Handstand PU, or other challenging variation
Intermediate:
- Partial, Assisted, and/or Jumping Pull-ups
- Push-ups (go to your knees if necessary)
Basic:
- Bodyrows
- Knee Push-ups

Alternated regular pushups with body rows. The body rows were hard. I apparently have little to no pulling power and had to pull my legs in to get enough leverage to pull myself to the bar.
85 pushups
35 bodyrows (got tired)
Probably started with reps too high for not working out for awhile.

Don't be too hard on yourself. It sounds like you gave it a good effort and got a good workout. Don't get too hung up on numbers. You now have a baseline to work from.
Good job.
