And Holllllllllllllly crap! I knew that the rings would make push ups a bit harder, but I had NO IDEA this hard! So I decided to try push ups with home made rings today. What a surprise. I can do 40 regular push ups in one set but I was hard pressed to do 6 push ups from the rings. I have them susp...

For a rowing tabata, I set the interval time to 20 seconds, the rest time to 10 seconds, the mode set for distance and the resistance set low. I row the 20 seconds and write down the distance during the 10 seconds rest (a notepad and pen next to the concept 2). The score is the shortest distance for...

Alternative pull up progression
I've been struggling with pull ups from a dead hang and have been looking for a simple way to assist the pull up. I see Tara has been successfully using the bands and I have read the page here http://www.simplefit.org/pullup.html . I came up with a simple but very effective method if you have a bala...

Thanks for the encouragement! When I started last September I was struggling with both pull ups and push ups at level one. I'm still struggling with the pull ups but now I'm at level 4. The progress feels slow and I've had some injuries through pushing too hard but I have made real progress. Patienc...

When I started I couldn't do pull ups but I could sort of do chin ups. I went too quickly and got golfers elbow (pain on the inside of the elbow). I had to take several weeks off from chin ups but I could still do push ups and body rows. I did the body rows (overhand like pull ups not underhand like...
