So today I took my first shot at a +1 version of the Ray’s Way I successfully completed two weeks in a row. That meant I needed to do 5 sets of 16 dips, 9 pull ups and 21 push ups. Well, I failed.
I am not quite sure where the lion share of blame should be put on me stepping off the dip bars at rep 8 of set four. I think mentally I was defeated when I started single repping the push ups in set 3 after only 13 or 14 reps. I just felt like I didn’t have it in me. Of course once your mind tells you that, your body has little to no chance of success.
Maybe if I had a larger amount of sleep the past few nights I would have felt more energetic but hell, I didn’t even do any running, biking or swimming this weekend. (did do some drinking though)
So although I opted out at rep 8 I did at least have enough pride to finish out the remaining reps for the full 5 sets off the clock. It was a bummer effort.
