Chest 15 180sec
Row 14 150sec
Leg 19 170sec
Static holds. First number is the number of plates lifted (out of 20 on a 200lb stack) and second number is number of seconds. For leg press the pulley arrangement effectively doubles the weight. I target a three minute hold or failure, whichever comes first. If I reach 3 minutes I stop the exercise and raise the weight next cycle.
Chest press: 1st attempt at this weight and I reached 3 minutes relatively easily. I have been making good progress on the upper body pushing exercises recently. Will move on to 15 plates next cycle.
Row: 1st attempt at this weight and failed well short of 3 minutes.
Leg Press: fourth attempt at this weight. TUL up 30 sec over the disappointing effort last week. This was the best TUL so far at this weight but I couldn't quite hold on for the last 10 secounds. Maybe get there next week.
Last week I felt pretty good going in to the workout and kind of hit the wall. This week if anything I felt a little lower energy than last week but had a good workout overall. Up on weight or TUL for all exercises. Just goes to show that pre-workout intuition is not so reliable. Guess the message is: do your best and let the numbers speak for themselves.
