- Don't let two months worth of journal entries pile up. It's a pain in the ass to enter so many in one session.
- It's easy to get carried away when defining progress as "more reps". I've been trying to add more and more, and have really let my form get terrible. This morning, I'm switching to only one session of each exercise type per week, so I compensating for reduced reps by focusing on perfect form and slow, controlled movements. It's obvious to me that I've been cheating, because doing the exercises properly wiped me out! I may have to bite the bullet and reduce reps to re-baseline my progress. It's not a race, and I don't have a deadline, so there's no point in cheating - I'm only cheating myself anyway.
Warmup:
1x10 Wall Pushups
1x10 Incline Pushups
2x5 Knee Tucks
Work Sets:
3x36 Incline Pushups (horrible form by the end of the third set!)
3x30 Knee Tucks (surprisingly, these are still really hard. On the other hand, I just added another 5 reps per set a couple of days ago - may be rushing it..)
