Started the workout with 4 sets of 4 pullups and last set with 7 pullups (:
JinHu, Tomo, Joel and Jon joined us for pullups today. Special mention goes to RenJie, who did 5 sets of 2 pullups!! Impressive gain since his max last year was just one set of 2! Keep it up bro! :D
After a set of dips, RenJie, Tomo, Jon, JinHu and I went to do our bodyweight interval training again. 20 secs of pushups, squats and 40 sec planks/bicycle crunches followed by 10 sec rest intervals. My triceps and chest died after that but my abs didn't feel worked though. Maybe it's time to lengthen the planking timings?
After an hour RenJie and I went back to the gym to work on our biceps and forearms. Very good workout. My
elbows are no longer squishy! I think RenJie is having significant
strength gains too.
This week concludes week 1 of our 6 week pullup challenge. Hopefully by the end of it RenJie will be able to do >6 pullups and Ken >9. I'll be happy with the same number of reps but with better form (: Then we can proceed on to either Convict Conditioning or some other regime once we get stronger in 5 weeks time.
