Workout of the Day

80

Strict Lynne

5 rounds for max reps of:
Bodyweight bench presses
Strict pull-ups

Post reps for both exercises in all rounds to comments.

Compare to similar 180409.
Compare to similar 190318.

Scaling:
This workout offers 5 max-effort attempts at each exercise, regardless of how you modify the movements. Choose something that will allow you to perform at least 7 reps of each, even as you fatigue. Give yourself at least 3 minutes (no more than 5 minutes) of rest after the pull-ups before beginning the next round of bench presses so you recover enough to get another big set. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load of the barbell and the difficulty of the pull-up. All athletes should perform the bench presses with a buddy — spotting this movement is super important. If you don’t have a spotter, don’t push to failure. You may also consider using dumbbells as an alternative.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for max reps of:

3/4-bodyweight bench presses
Pull-ups

Beginner option:
5 rounds for max reps of:

Push-ups
Ring rows

Not really counting as an improvement since the trajectory looked better in 2019, but overall better than 2018. Curious what would have happened if we did the full 5 rds in 2019. I find that a solid bench press is hard for me to maintain at 41y.

Gonna have to add this to another workout later on. Spent most of the day doing yard maintenance, pool maintenance, and digging post holes (there’s way too much clay in my dirt).

failed and dumped the weights on the last 2 bench sets. Rested 3.5m after bench and 3m after pullups until the last round where 5m rest didn’t seem to help! Need to be more consistent!

Could have gone much heavier on BP, but no spotter or bench,so reluctant to use BB & in a rare reversal of what I said about enforced rests; today, they were appreciated!
