WOW 2010 09 19 #23

Shoulder Press 13 165sec
Lat Pull Down 11 180sec
Leg Press 17 150sec

Static holds.  First number is the number of plates lifted (out of 20 on a 200lb stack) and second number is number of seconds held.  For leg press the pulley arrangement effectively doubles the weight.

Shoulder press up 2 plates and didn't quite make it to 3 minutes.  Will keep weight the sames next time and see if I can increase the time.
Lat Pull Down up 1 plate, made it to 3 minutes.  Will increase weight next time.
Leg Press up 1 plate and failed well short of 3 minutes.  This one gets really tough.  Will keep the weight the same and try to get closer to 3 minutes next time.

I guess I have now reached a point where I am well calibrated on weights for the 3 minute target holds.  I expect I will fail before 3 minutes on most if not all of the exercises in the next set as well.  From here it will be a matter of fighting to improve TULs by a few seconds each workout with increases in weight coming less frequently.
