Pull-Up Program: Day 3

I didn't have time for a big workout today. I am cramming for a test in Renal tomorrow.
I did complete Day 3 of the pull-up program http://trizack.blogspot.com/2009/01/pull-up-program.html Today's session seemed very easy for me. I actually held back on how many pull-ups I could have done. Holding back was probably the toughest part about the workout. I held back because the program calls for making sure you complete all 9 training sets. I am sure I could have done more, but my muscles need a little bit of recovery time anyway. I can't wait to see what I can do 4 weeks from now.

1. Pushups = 40
2. Wide Grip Pullups = 2, rest 60 seconds
3. Wide Grip Pullups = 2, rest 60 seconds
4. Wide Grip Pullups = 2, rest 60 seconds
5. Close Grip Pullups = 3, rest 60 seconds
6. Close Grip Pullups = 3, rest 60 seconds
7. Close Grip Pullups = 3, rest 60 seconds
8. Wide Grip Pullups = 4, rest 60 seconds
9. Wide Grip Pullups = 4, rest 60 seconds
10. Wide Grip Pullups = 5

*Ab Roller = 10

I would much rather be outside in the summer. So I thought I would include a pic from a duathlon I did the summer of 07'.

This was my 2nd workout of the day. I needed a little bit of a change of pace and a new challenge. I came up with this series to work the entire body - cardio, strength, interval, etc. It is designed to be hard and painful. It won't make me look like the Incredible Hulk. The Incrdible Hulk is too big to do triathlons. It will help me lose fat, get lean/strong and ripped. My goal here was to push through with good form as fast as possible.

I did 9 different lifting exercises sandwiched between 250 Jump Rope Reps or 15 Burpee/Squat Thrusts. In between each set there was no rest. The idea here was to get the heart rate up and keep it up. At the end of my circuit I did 10 minutes on the elliptical machine.

1. Jump Rope = 250
2. Planks = 2:15
3. Burpee/Squat Thrusts = 15
4. Dips = 15
5. Jump Rope = 250
6. Dumbell Should Press = 45LB x 8
7. Burpee/Squat Thrusts = 15
8. Wide Grip Pullups = 10
9. Jump Rope = 250
10. Incline Dumbell Press = 60LB x 8
11. Burpee/Squat Thrusts = 15
12. Body Weight Rows = 12
13. Jump Rope = 250
14. Tricep Dips = 18
15. Burpee/Squat Thrusts = 15
16. Close Grip Pullups = 12
17. Jump Rope = 250
18. Power Clean, Jerk & Push Press = 40LB x 6
19. Burpee/Squat Thrusts = 15
20. Elliptical Machine = 10:00
    Total Time = 42:30
