Workout Journal Notes

This little “1-up” program I’ve been doing could start to get like the “start with a penny and double your money every day for a month” scenario, meaning it’s adding up quick!

Tomorrow is speed camp day, which I’m really excited about, since I haven’t been in 2 weeks, but I’m going to continue adding 1 rep to my current workouts again on Monday to see how high I can go.

I know it’s going to be chin-ups that hold me up, because they are the hardest exercise of the 4, but strangely, they actually get easier as the sets go on, and I’m still able to bang out 8 or 9 on the last set so far.

I should be able to get up to at least the point where I start with 10 reps, hopefully more. I forget what my one-set record is for chin-ups, but I think it’s at least 13 (possibly 16?), so we’ll see!
