    WEEKS 82-85

    9 May

    15 May

    L-Sit/Tuck planche/Tuck Pushup – 5 x 3
    L-Sit/Tuck planche/Straddle – 2 x 4
    Slow Scap Pushups – 3 x 10

    18 May

    Circuit-style:
    Arnold Press – 3 x 8 x 8.5kg
    Slow Pull ups – 3 x 5
    Pike Pushups – 3 x 6
    EZ Bar Curls – 3 x 8 x 21.5kg
    Hanging Toes to Bar – 3 x 5
    Slow Pushups – 3 x 10
    DB Hammer Curls – 3 x 8 x 8.5kg
    V-Situps – 3 x 10

    I had ~30 secs rest between each exercise. I introduced a few slower exercises, my feeling is that isometric holds require stability and so rushing through reps of pull ups isn’t that helpful, you need strength through the whole range of motion.

    23 May

    L-Sit/Tuck Planche/Tuck pushup – 4,4,3,3,2
    Pseudo Waistline Straddle Lowers – 5
    Pseudo Waistline Straddle Hold – 2 x 4 x 5 secs
    Slow Straddle PPPu – 3 x 2

    I mixed up my session, getting a bit disheartened and how little progress I’m seemingly making.
