Week 143

• Monday, December 27, 2010
  D1L7:
  • 25 +1 (+3 cf. previous D1L7, -4 cf. previous PR)
    Woo. So hard.
    Numbers moving up again.
    So. Hard.
    
    The "+1" above is an extra round I added after the 20 minutes had run out.

  D2L7:
  • Untimed.
    
    Day 2 is always surprisingly hard.
    
  Wednesday, December 22, 2010
  D3L7:
  • 7'16" (+1'41" cf. previous D3L7, +1'41" cf. previous PR)
    Pull-ups: 40 (24-7-3-3-3)
    Push-ups: 80 (30-14-14-6-4-6-3-2-1)
    Squats: 80 (40-23-12-5)
    
    Been dreading it, but I did Day 3 for the first time since Aug. 7, 2010.
    Form was only OK:
    
    Pull-Ups:
    Full extension: NO
    
    Push-Ups:
    Chest to floor: NO
    Elbows at sides: NO
    Hands positioned below shoulders: NO
    
    But, well...there it is.

Week 144

• Monday, January 3, 2011
  D1L7:
  • 24 +3 (-1 cf. previous D1L7, -5 cf. previous PR)
    The "+3" above is an extra round I added after the 20 minutes had run out.
    I don't count the +n rounds in my total for the day, but they help me make progress
  Wednesday, January 5, 2011
  D2L7:
  • Untimed.
    
    I did it this way:
    16/48/80
    8/24/40
    16/48/80
    It was hard.
  Saturday, January 8, 2011
  D3L7:
  • 5'42" (-1'34" cf. previous D3L7, +7" cf. previous PR)
    
    Pull-ups: 40 (28-4-4-4)
    Push-ups: 80 (30-12-12-10-6-5)
    Squats: 80 (50-2010)
    
    Beat last week's time by 1'34" and only missed my PR by 7 seconds! I am pleased.

Week 145

• Monday, January 3, 2011
  D1L7:
  • 26 (+2 cf. previous D1L7, -3 cf. previous PR) .
    
    Creeping up is hard work!
    Especially pleased with this workout as I felt rather gassed even before starting—proof that desk job fatigue has little to no relation to physical fatigue.
  Wednesday, January 5, 2011
  D2L7:
  • Untimed.
    
    Maybe one of these weeks I'll do Day 2 slowly, with perfect form...but I can't imagine the agony of that!
  Saturday, January 8, 2011
  D3L7:
  • 4'55" (-00:47 cf. previous D3L7, -00:40 cf. previous PR)
    
    Pull-ups: 40 (30-4-3-3)
    Push-ups: 80 (30-10-10-10-6-4-5-4-1)
    Squats: 80 (50-15-10-5)

Week 146 - Level 8 - The Ocho

• Wednesday, January 19, 2011
  D1L8:
  • 18 +1, PR.
    
    I wasn't sure how to approach this. I started off intending to pace myself, maybe even take it easy. Then it got hard.
    18 is a good benchmark; one I hope to beat next week.
  Saturday, January 22, 2011
  D3L7:
  • 9:02 PR
    
    Pull-ups: 50 (20-10-5-5-5-5)
    Push-ups: 100 (25-21-4-15-12-10-2-7-4)
    Squats: 100 (50-25-25)
    
    I don't have my notebook with me, so I will have to enter the subsets of the rounds later.
    What's cool about this level is that the sets are so big, they add up to a real workout!

  D2L8:

    Not too brutal.
    Unusual for a Day 2!

Week 148

• Monday, January 31, 2011
  D1L8:
  • 23 PR (+1 cf. previous D1L8, +1 cf. previous PR)
    
    +1 is +1.
    No complaints here!
  Saturday, February 5, 2011

  • 8:33 (+00:22 cf. previous D3L8, +00:22 cf. previous PR)

Week 149

• Monday, February 7, 2011
  D1L8:
  • 20 (-2 cf. previous D1L8, -2 cf. previous PR)
    
    Tired today due to two late nights over the weekend.
  Saturday, February 12, 2011
  D3L8:
  • 8:04 PR (-00:29 cf. previous D3L8, -00:07 cf. previous PR)
    
    Pull-ups: 50 (20-6-4-4-3-3-3-3-1-1-1-1)
    Push-ups: 100 (37-8-10-10-10-8-5-5-5-2)
    Squats: 100 (65-15-20)
    
    I couldn't get into my kipping rhythm and that meant I didn't get very many pull-ups in the all-important first set.
    (If I can get a huge number in that first set, it really helps my lower my overall time.)
    Somehow, I still managed a PR.
    Yay.
