This was a fairly straightforward week to close out the month. I didn't do anything particularly ambitious with it, but keeping my rhythm while making gradual progress is an accomplishment in its own right.
Sunday
Type: Pass/Fail
Uneven Pull Ups - 2 sets of 6, each side (pass)
Stand-to-stand Bridges, one wall touch on the way up - 2 sets of 6 (pass)
Archer Push Ups - 2 sets of 16, each side (pass)
Bonus: 4 sets of 3 plyometric push ups, 3 burpees
More gradual progress, with my push ups this time. Ever a welcome sight.
Tuesday
Type: As Fast As Possible
5 sets of:
10 Chin Ups
10 Lunges (each side)
10 Side Lunges (each side)
20 High Knees (each side)
Time = 9:45
Bonus: 7 breath isometric flex hang
This was in line with my previous attempt at this workout, though I'd say having a slightly tougher bonus suggests some improvement in my performance.
Wednesday
Type: Pass/Fail
Uneven Handstand Push Ups - 1 set of 4, each side (pass)
Isometric L-Hang - 1 set of 31 breaths (pass)
Shrimp Squats, both hands behind me - 1 set of 12, each side (pass)
Bonus: none
I had a time crunch this day, but I'm happy with what I was able to do despite that. It's nothing amazing, but it's a clear step forward from my last time doing a single set with this routine.
Friday
Type: As Fast As Possible
3 sets of:
11/8/5 Pull Ups
21/15/9 Prisoner Squats
21/15/9 Straight Leg Raises
Time = 4:45
Bonus: 5 handstand push ups
This was a simple, well-rounded workout, so I'm satisfied with having torn through it fairly smoothly. I won't deny that I could benefit from a more aggressive approach to these triplets in general, but there's nothing wrong with the occasional maintenance workout.
Saturday
Type: As Fast As Possible
1 set of:
40 Prisoner Squats
30 Push Ups
20 Hanging Knee Raises
10 Pull Ups
10 Bridges
Time = 4:15
Bonus: 13 breath isometric flex hang
This was an improvement from my previous performance on the same workout, so I'm certainly happy to see that progress. I was a little disappointed in how taxing the pull ups felt; even if I might've jumped the gun on going into them right after the previous movement without giving my forearms much of a break, I'd expect to pump out ten of them without significant issues on the first set of a workout. Something to be mindful of going forward, perhaps.
