I only completed the target number of reps in the Pull-down, so the weight for the Press is the same this week. However, I reviewed Body again, and thought more about the f/5 repetitions from before. The mindset was to get closer to something that felt like total failure with a second set, rather than continuing longer while still under the initial resistance. I’ve stopped doing the f/5 set, holding the resistance longer at the end of the 5/5 set.

Close-grip Supinated Pull-down

Shoulder Press

I ended this week sick, so I wasn’t eating near as much as I should have been. Hopefully next week will go better.

Totals

Bioelectrical Measurements

Hydration was controlled by drinking 1500 mL (500 mL in Jess’s case) of water within 30 minutes of waking without food intake. Measurements were taken within the following 30 minutes.

Caliper Measurements

Measurements were taken on both sides and averaged. Body fat percentage calculated using this calculator, provided by the ACE.

Tape Measurements

Measurements were taken at the widest location per body part, with the exception of the waist. Bicep measurements were taken with the arm held parallel to the ground, bent at a right angle. I took all measurements.
