Exhausting day today nothing to write home about but overall I was pleased with it.
Does the manpon press really work as a good sub as a board? I may try that thanks Joe…

Honestly I don’t know.
I just stuff the damn thing under my shirt and I do feel it in my tris so it must be close. Boards would be better I’d imagine but I work with what I’ve got.
Nice days work Joe…

Its actually the sixty day T-Nation challenge that I did before but I only had five weeks until I went on vacation so I thought I’d do it and then do the 60 day one when I return. I’ll start the sixty day on with 20-25 push/ups and chins.
Five Week Challenge
30 pushups
30 chins
W3-C3-W1-D2
Deads
5x135
5x185
5x220
5x255
11x285
5x315
2x345
1x380
Squats to a 12" box
8x135
8x185
8x225
5x245
2x275
I was going to try two singles at 380 but back tweaked on the first pull so I decided to be safe. Bar kept trying to roll down my back on the squats for some reason nad by the end of this session I was exhausted.
Deads and Squats? Brutal.
Nice lifting Joe! Drink lot’s o’ milk.

HLR stands for hanging leg raise.
That’s a lot of chins and pushups. Are they thickening up your arms?

A couple of women I know keep talking about my shoulders and arms looking better.

I’m doing a similar sort of thing. Do you not find that equal pushups to chins is way out of balance?
I mean for me 30 push ups is a piece of piss whereas 30 chins is quite a lot of work.
Is there a reason for keeping them 1:1 that I don’t know about? or did he get it wrong?
1:2 seems about right for me at the moment.
i wouldn’t be able to say 30 press ups and piece of piss in the same sentence–might however say 30 press ups, bucket and vomit !!
I’m at about a 2:1 ratio too.

My guess is the unspoken reason is that most people don’t do enough pulling vs. pushing in their regular training. I know Wendler has written to do 2 pulling movements for every 1 pushing movement.
Chins are total BW, pushups are approx. 70% or thereabouts, so easy to see why chins are harder. Except for pushups vs. chins, the difficulty imbalance is usually the other way around though -think bench vs bb row, face pulls etc.

Today was 3, but really it can vary depending on how I’ve worked my arms and shoulders.
This is extra work so I’m less pushing it than just getting it done.
