Not as strong as I thought I was? page

[TheTeddy]

On any given day I could bust out 9 pull ups(10 if I cheat by kipping one more), and 28-30 pushups. But I just did a pbf workout as follows:

Round 1
55 prisoner Squats
120 sec plank
60 sec side planks
20 push ups
7 pull ups

Round 2
50 prisoner Squats
90 sec plank
60 sec side planks
20 pushups
5 chin ups

Everything else is fine, it's the pull ups, chin ups and push ups that went down. What gives?

Maybe the planks made your arms tired

[TrPAssasin]

The lats are a big stabilizer when doing the plank. They could have been worn out.

I'd never even thought of that. There goes all my credibility in the area of fitness and nutrition. :P

You might have lost a bit of wind, too, with all the squats!

Was everything else the same (your weight, pull-up equipment, etc)?

Conversely, I struggled less than expected with 5x10 overhead press after doing separate tricep extensions/pull overs with an EZ curl bar.

Maybe I was just having a good day, it's a little early to tell but compound exercises will always find the weak link.

Everything else was the same, yes. Same tree, all bodyweight. I suppose I just fatigued my lats and core with the planks and Squats
