Strength Protocol & Totals Programs ~ Days 20 to 25

Strength Protocol Program

Day 20: abs ~ Level 3/5 sets — not a hard day, but my tailbone wasn’t happy with me by the end of this workout.

Day 21: shoulders, chest & triceps ~ Level 3/5 sets — holy soooooo many push-ups today between this workout and one of my challenges!

Day 22: back & biceps ~ Level 3/5 sets — not a terribly difficult day, but hard on the wrists.

Day 23: legs ~ Level 3/5 sets — I chose to do full pistol squats for the first three of the five sets on the first exercise and not the half pistol required. My legs couldn’t do two more sets at full movement. Today wasn’t hard overall, but it certainly worked more than it felt like it did. The DOMS in my inner thighs was surprising!

Day 24: abs ~ Level 3/5 sets — quick and easy!

Day 25: shoulders, chest & triceps ~ Level 3/5 sets — Tough! The sliding push-ups right at the start were incredibly difficult and I had to do them slower than I would have liked. The rest of the exercises were hard, but managed to get it all donw. The last two sets of cross triceps extensions were not easy!

This is an old experiment in The Hive from last year that I just randomly decided I wanted to try starting today.

So, for the next ten days I am doing 2,000 crunches a day. I plan to do twenty sets of 100reps throughout my day providing I am not too sore to carry out that many reps per set.

Day 1 ~ 2,000 crunches — 100reps x 20 sets
