Finished today’s session with a push-up burnout (insert evil grin). Not programmed, just used it to work on where my true failure point actually is.
A quick reminder on how I want you thinking about your sets:
1) Define the standard first. Every rep should look the same — full range, controlled tempo, no shortcuts. The goal is quality reps, not just counting reps.
2) Identify “discomfort” vs “failure”
- Discomfort = burn, slowing reps, mental resistance
- Failure = you physically cannot complete another rep with good form
Most people stop at discomfort. That’s leaving progress on the table.
Are you up for giving this burnout a move a shot at the end of your next upper body workout?? Here it is. P.s i ended up going out of sequence quickly when my brain turned off, ha.
45-60 seconds
- Pushup.
- Tap the weight one arm at a time
