Week B7

SimpleFit, Level 5, Day 1

Monday, July 11, 2016

As many rounds as possible (AMRAP), in 20 minutes, of:

1. 3 Pull-Up
2. 5 Push-Ups
3. 8 Air Squats

Result

Rounds: 20 (+2 cf. previous, PR) (60s/round) + 1 round completed after time expired
Reps: 60 Pull-Ups + 100 Push-Ups + 60 Air Squats = 320 (3.8 s/rep)


This was a good workout. I went to failure on pull-ups and push-ups were difficult. (I didn't fail to get my chin above the bar on the pull-ups, but it took poor form to get me there on later reps.)

I increased my tally of rounds by 2, but very likely still have a few more weeks at the level: my experience with Simplefit tells me that I need to crank out 25-30 rounds on Day 1 in order to achieve a sub-five-minute Day 3

SimpleFit, Level 5, Day 2

Tuesday, July 12, 2016

Level 3, Day 2 consists of 5 rounds of:

1. 5 Pull-Ups
2. 15 Push-Ups
3. 26 Squats 

Time

• Round 1: 61s
• Round 2: 61s
• Round 3: 66s
• Round 4: 98s
• Round 5: 77s 

Total: 06m02s (+1s cf. previous) (01m12s/round)
Reps: 25 Pull-Ups + 75 Push-Ups + 130 Air Squats = 230 (1.6 s/rep)

SimpleFit, Level 5, Day 3

Thursday, July 14, 2016

Level 5, Day 3 consists of 1 round of:

1. 26 Pull-Ups (13-5-2-2-3-2-1)
2. 51 Push-Ups (22-8-6-5-4-4)
3. 51 Squats (33-18)

Time: 07m02s PR (-01m26s cf. previous = 16.9% faster)
Reps: 26 Pull-Ups + 51 Push-Ups + 51 Air Squats = 128 (3.3 s/rep)

If I get 16.9% faster every week, it will take me two more weeks to finish this level.
