Today: Lots of Calisthenics, Escalating Density Training (Push Ups), Fewest Sets to 100 (Pull Ups), Legs Pre-Exhaust - 473 Reps Total

206 push ups in 11 minutes and 55 seconds.  This beats my prior record of 193.



Chin Ups:  How few sets to get 100?:  15 sets.



Legs:  Pre-exhaust.  The idea here is to mimic the bodybuilder's pre-exhaust, to fatigue the legs before squats.  They will usually do some kind of isolation move for quads and hamstrings (leg extensions and leg curls) and then get to squats.  I am trying to model this with sissy squats, glute raises and then squats.  As little rest as possible:

Sissy squats:  15 x 3 (very short rest)
Glute raises (one leg at a time):  15 x 3 each leg, no rest
Squats:  15 x 3, very short rest
Side Steps with Resistance Band:  15 x 3  = 180 reps total
