12.5 FAIL


As weird as it sounds, I'm in love with doing the last set to failure. I'm slightly worried that the fact that I can do most of the exercises past the max reps means I'm doing them wrong, but I really like the goal that going towards failure gives me. I thrive on structure and the concreteness of failure really works for me. I had a really spectacular push-up fail where my arms totally gave out and I hit the ground forehead first.

And with the failure -- triumph, I actually moved myself during incline pull-ups!! It wasn't all the way up but it was motion, which is more than I could say when I started with them.
