Shoulder Press 15 180sec
Lat Pull Down 13 150sec
Leg Press 19 180sec
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. "TUL" = Time Under Load. I hold until failure or 3 minutes. If I reach 3 minutes I increase the weight next cycle.
Shoulder Press: first attempt at this weight and made it to 3 minutes continuing a good run with the upper body pushing exercises. Will increase weight next time. Lat Pull Down: third attempt at this weight and TUL was up from the last attempt but still failed well short of 3 minutes. Leg Press: fifth attempt at this weight and made 3 minutes. Next attempt will be at 20 which is max for the machine. Once I hit 3 minutes at 20 will have to think of something else.
I took last week off so had not worked out for two weeks. Shoulder press was good with a three minute hold on the first attempt at a new weight. Time was improved for the lat pull and I finally hit 3 minutes for this weight for the leg press. For the lat pull the sun was shining through a window directly into my eyes which did not help my concentration any. Also, my sense is that working harder on the pushing exercises is having a negative impact on the pulling exercises which I always do second. All in all a good workout with weight and/or TUL up for all three exercises. I think it is good to take an extra week off every now and then....
