I didn't really bother recording weeks 1 & 2, wish I did just for a good reference, but I'll add in a summary of each day as I remember it. My simplefit days are Mon/Wed/Sat, with Tues/Thurs/Fri being when I have Taekwondo classes. I might skip the squats some weeks since taekwondo focuses a lot on kicking, and I don't want to push my legs too far. I might add some planks and flexibility work on simplefit days as well.

W1 L1 D1 (evening):

Approximately 20 sets, had to substitute pull-ups after the first couple. Push-ups and squats were no problem.

W1 L1 D2 (evening):

Most pull ups after the first set were substitutes. No problems with push-ups or squats, did both in one set.

W1 L1 D3 (evening):

Definitely did not pass, did pull-ups in approx sets of 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, not all proper pull-ups.

W2 L1 D1 (evening):

Approximately 20 sets, didn't manage much difference from week 1.

W2 L1 D2 (evening):

Most pull-ups were proper form, a few substitute pull-ups done. Significant difference from W2L1D3. Think I stumbled upon a better form for pull-ups, because it felt far better.

W2 L1 D3 (morning):

Passed (Time was around 4:35). Pull-ups in sets of 5, 3, 1, 1 Push-ups and squats in this quantity aren't any challenge, did them in one set, but pull-ups are what I need the most work on. Repeating L1 for W3, but it'll definitely be the last week of L1.

W3 L1 D1 (evening):

25 sets, all better pull-ups, struggling on the last 10 pull-ups to get the last inch or two of height, but managed to. I'll actually time W3L1D2 this time around.

Completed in 5:33

Pull-up sets: 8, 7, 2, 2, 1
Push-up sets: 21, 20

I'd bet my time is somewhat slowed overall based on what we end up working on in my Friday Taekwondo class, since it's specifically focused on fitness, so my times are kind of all over the place based on what the instructor decides to focus on that day. Less arm work in Taekwondo versus last week is likely the majority of the time difference between this and last week.
