On D1: gained a round, again!
On D2: 1:45 rest time. Was very, very difficult. Had to take breaks during push ups in the last two sets in the bonus round. Muscles ached for two days, affecting D3. I don't know the reason for this dip.
On D3: Still struggling with pull ups. I guess I have to wait for a few more fibres in my arms.

Week 85 (Week 7 of L4.3) ending 01/24/15
D1: 26rds, D2: 08:27, D3: 06:14
Pull ups: 7,1,1 (0:50), 1,1 (0:32), 1 (0:24) 1 (0:19) 1 (0:24) 1 (0:24) 1 (0:26) (total 3:19)
Push ups: 25 (0:42),(10,6) (0:46) (total: 1:28)
Squats: 41 (01:27)

On D1: no change
On D2: 1:45 rest time. 8 - 10 rounds needed a break. I expected to be coasting D2 by this time.
On D3: no incremental improvement.

I noticed that I am putting on weight very gradually. Since June, 2014, I put on around 5 lbs. I wonder if that additional weight is stopping me from making progress in reducing the time. I do not want to 'watch' what I eat, not anymore than what I do anyway But the weight gain is bumming me out. Gotta take it in my stride.

Week 86 (Week 8 of L4.3) ending 01/31/15
D1: 27rds, D2: 08:27, D3: 05:27
Pull ups: 7,8,9 (0:44), 10,11 (0:27), 12,13 (0:29) 14 (0:22) 15 (0:19) 16 (0:21) (total 2:42)

Squats: 41 (01:25)

On D1: one more round!
On D2: 1:45 rest time.
On D3: decided to do 12th and 13th as one set (a few seconds break). Quality of every rep from 13th was bad. I am continuing this approach.

Week 87 (Week 9 of L4.3) ending 02/07/15
D1: 27rds, D2: 08:31, D3: 06:31
Pull ups: 7,8,9 (0:51), 10,11 (0:32), 12,13 (0:32) 14 (0:34) 15 (0:28) 16 (0:27) (total 3:24)

Squats: 41 (01:27)

On D1: no change.
On D2: 1:45 rest time. 10th set push ups needed a break. Improvement.
On D3: see sawing in the times. The quality of the reps is better than it was last week. I am happy about that and slipping in the times is acceptable. Also, I discovered that elbows are hurting. I plan to take it slow and stay at this level till I am completely ready.

Week 88 (Week 10 of L4.3) ending 02/14/15
D1: 27rds, D2: 08:04, D3: 05:32
Pull ups: 7,8,9 (0:46), 10,11 (0:26), 12,13 (0:28) 14 (0:23) 15 (0:22) 16 (0:22) (total 2:52)
Push ups: 25 (0:36),(10,6) (0:41) (total: 1:17)
Squats: 41 (01:23)

On D1: no change.
On D2: 1:45 rest time. No breaks in 10 sets. Finally!
On D3: see-sawing in the times, again. The quality of the reps is getting better. Only 13th was a lower quality. I discovered that skipping dinner for three days in last week resulted in a 3 lb drop in weight. I am sure that is the reason behind the improvement on D2 and D3. I felt it was easier.

Week 89 (Week 11 of L4.3) ending 02/21/15
D1: 27rds, D2: 07:55, D3: 05:39
Pull ups: 7,8,9 (0:48), 10,11 (0:29), 12,13 (0:33) 14 (0:25) 15 (0:24) 16 (0:24) (total 3:03)

On D1: no change.
On D2: 1:45 rest time. No breaks in 10 sets.
On D3: I decided to do something about the elbow pain. Usually, I repeat D3 exercise two more times. Today, I did D3 only once. I hope that reduces the stress on elbow a bit.

Week 90 (Week 12 of L4.3) ending 02/28/15
D1: 26rds, D2: 07:34, D3: 05:11
Pull ups: 7,8,9 (0:45), 10,11 (0:27), 12,13 (0:29) 14 (0:20) 15 (0:18) 16 (0:20) (total 2:39)
Push ups: 25 (0:37),(10,6) (0:40) (total: 1:17)
Squats: 41 (01:15)

On D1: From rounds 11 to 27, I used to take break between two pull ups. I changed the tactic. Instead, I take a minute break between rounds and do two sets without a break. This seems to give longer rest for my elbows. Also, I decided not start the pull ups from full elbow extension. When I start and when I come down for another pull up, I am leaving elbows slightly bent. I am hoping that will reduce the strain on elbows. Either that worked or this is considered a short cut, but it seems to be slightly easier My biceps are definitely feeling the pain.
On D2: 1:45 rest time. No breaks in 10 sets.
On D3: Did D3 only once. Leaving the elbows slightly bent during pull ups. I see the differences. I was able to pull myself up above the bar almost all the times. And it was easier. Am I building muscle or taking a short cut?

Please someone tell me, if I leaving the elbows slightly bent is the correct technique or is a short cut.
