A: used 25 for first 2 sets then 20# (I miss read and thought it said max reps on all)
3/3/5/4
1/1.5/4/4
2/1.5/4/4

B:
Used rower (I’m still trying to find my “groove” on rowing since it’s so new to me)..it took me right about 2 mins each for the rows.

Used treadmill for the run today…I think it slowed me down a bit getting to the mill and getting it up to speed.

30 pushups were tough!

5:30 / 5:16 / 5:20 / 5:28

Is this a 30 seconds rest between each set of each movement?

exactly! 30 second rest between each and then when you finish a set, you rest 3 minutes before starting the next!

A) Bodyweight instead of weighted / band assist instead of bodyweight. 7/3/8/5, 7/2/7/5, 5/2/7/4, 4/2/6/4
B) (no rower, so I did seated cable rows for 3 minutes at 60lbs)
This was hard, but I completed it.

Kept using last set to push the pace. Could’ve probably pushed harder on first two sets. Pull-ups hurt ripped my right hand on the last two fingers that’s going to be fun…?

You should be proud that you were able to improve with each progressing set. Do not be afraid to hit the wall in training. See how far you can go and if you get incredibly exhausted, at least you know for the future where your redline is. Be proud of your effort and know that next time you have a little more left in your tank.

A. 26# Kb 3/4/5/5, 3/3/4/4, 3/3/3/4 reps each round…not a great day for pull-ups.
B. As Rx. 4:33, 4:29, 4:25, and 4:26…probably should have pushed harder on the rows.
Finished up with some extra core work….track workout tomorrow.

You recognize where you can push in the future and that is fantastic. You got through the program and you will be better for it. Do not beat yourself up over one training session. In the grand scheme of things, you will not recall this session. Just know for next time =)
