polarbears's log
I'm a 20 year old male in college just looking for an easy to follow workout plan. I love pullups and pushups, and simplefit has plenty of those, so it looks like i came to the right place. I'm coming off of not doing anything for 2 weeks, started at level 1 to see where im at.
145lb
5'10"
Goal: To see my muscles better. For now size isn't really important to me
L1D1
68 rounds, i was tired but could've kept going for a while, maybe i should level up?
EDIT: added background information on myself

Decided to move up a level
L2D2
R1 - 0:33
R2 - 0:35
R3 - 0:36
R4 - 0:37
R5 - 0:33
2:54
still pretty easy. hate to keep moving up levels because the later levels (especially the timed days) look pretty treacherous, but i think im going to skip L2D3 and just move on to L3D1 because i know i can get D3 in less than 5 minutes easy

Re: polarbears's log
I'm at L3 and close to beating it and my best L1D1 is less than half of what you just did. Maybe you should start at L5D1?
Re: polarbears's log
Thanks for the response! It's nice being able to compare to someone else. I think I'll go with L4D1 tonight so I'll have at least some base before moving higher
Re: polarbears's log
L4D1
34 Rounds, alternated between pullups, chinups, and neutral grip round to round.
Sequence was 3 rounds and 50s-1min rest
Pushups and squats weren't a problem, but pullups/chins/neutral were near failure
much more tired than i was on my first day

Re: polarbears's log
been pretty busy with moving back home (my try at an excuse), will do a workout later today.
EDIT: added in workout
L4D2
R1 - 1:48
R2 - 1:44
R3 - 1:37
R4 - 1:35
R5 - 1:29
8:13
Instead of trying to make it through as quickly as possible, I slowed it down to make it harder on myself. Rested 3 minutes between rounds. Switched between pullups and chins every round.
Rounds got progressively faster as i had to start speeding up my pushups (they were still challenging but i was getting too close to failing)
Going to start watching what i eat. i hate counting calories, plus its pretty hard when my mother still cooks me dinner
so im going to just write how i ate on a current day (good, okay, bad, etc). its not super accurate, but on a regular basis you can tell if you ate well or not that day
How I ate: Decent
