I decided to slow down on the squats given the knee problems that I was having but didn't know what to do with push ups and pull ups. So I decided to modify and did 2 pull ups followed by 4 push ups. My goal was 12 sets and I was pretty winded by the end. I did not keep time but I know I did the las...

Thanks for the post. I'm definitely doing them correctly. I've been schooled many times on squats and I take pride in my form. I am going deeper down than that suggests but I'm not sure that that would be an issue. I actually adjusted my form after the first 2 weeks. I was pointing my toes straight ...

6:47 on L2D3. My knee issues are becoming more pronounced. There is a serious soreness that I'm starting to get worried about. I am going to take a full 2 days off and try to ice and see how it feels on Thursday before I try to go for L2D1 again. I might see a doctor soon.

6:46 on L2D2. It was much harder than I anticipated. My third pull up was almost entirely terrible by the 3rd set but I kept pushing as hard as I could. I was also getting pretty gassed on the pus ups and for the first time, really felt it in my core on those. Two questions: - Is a 90 second break b...

Sounds like I was at the beginning. Keep up the hard work on the negatives and you will be doing great in no time.

Wow that was a hard 24 rounds to get through. I didn't realize how hard it would be to get all the push ups done. I am feeling a bit sore today. My goal was to keep at a 30 pace and I was doing pretty well with that at 10 minutes, with 14 done, but I was completely shot by that time and could barely...

I did it! 4:48 for today's L1D3! Before I started, I told myself that I was going to beat 5 minutes and I did it. I finished my pull ups in 2:30 and I thought that I was home free because those have been my biggest impediment and I took it easy at the end of my squats, not realizing how close it was...

Finished my 4th L1D2 on Saturday. I felt great doing it. Regarding stretching: does anyone have a go-to set of stretches? I do a few that I learned from P90X but I don't know if they are working. I plan to move to L2 next week, regardless of my performance on L1D3 today. Four weeks at a level is eno...

Thanks! I'm very happy with it. I did my 4th L1D1 yesterday. I attempted to pace myself for exactly 30, but at around 12-15, I started to slip off the pace. When I was at 6:40 remaining, I was at 18 and decided that I was going to push it as hard as I could. My pull ups were getting ugly, so I gave ...

Finished my day 3 yesterday. My form is improving tremendously. I'm able to do 4 really good pull ups in a row now. That's making me feel great. I've been doing P90X's Abripper X after each of my workouts for the past 4 or 5 and it is killer. I have been slowly working my way up to all the reps and ...

Thanks for the tips, gents. It took me surprisingly until today to get my 3rd L1D2 in but it was done. I am slowing down, as I mentioned in my original post, because I am getting better form, which is slowing me down. Especially with pull ups and squats. But today, I did my pull ups with full range ...

I'm about to do my third week of L1D2 and thought I would start my log in the forums. I didn't start it at first for fear that I wouldn't keep up with it. My current results: Week 1 L1D1: 22 L1D2: 4:39 L1D3: 8:30 Week 2 L1D1: 28 L1D2: 4:04 L1D3: 6:30 Week 3 L1D1: 23 L1D2: 5:20 L1D3: 8:06 Week 4 L1D1...
