h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Today's Gym session was going to be the first to experiment with anatagonistic sets(back to Back set's of push or pull movements).
My new exercise regime is a two day per week plan involving Benching, Deadlifts, Squats, Pull ups, Rowing and Military press.

The idea is to do 3 sets of each exercise with 7 repetitions in each set, alternating in paired exercises e.g. Deadlift and Squat,Bench and Rowing, on Day 1,Deadlift and Squat, Pull up's and Military press on day 2.

The requirement is to do 1 set of 7 reps of say Deadlifts rest for minute then do 1 Set of Squat's, rest for 1 minute then back to Deadlift's and so no until three sets of each exercise in the paired group have been completed.
Once a paired group is finished you go on to the next pair i.e. Bench Press and Rowing.

Sunday's are generally quiet in the weight's room so I started doing Squat's, but as a pyramid.This got me up to 75 kg, which is a reasonable achievement.
Alternating with Deadlifting is always going to be problem because
using two bars and several plates will result in one piece of equipment lying around ready for other's to assume is unused. My answer is to take up Dumbells for one and a barbell for the other, as long as Dumbells go high enough in weight.

Using the 44 kg Dumbell's I managed 3 sets of seven Deadlifts but my grip was giving way on the last set.
Benching involved pyramids on the free weight's bar. Luckily I put guides in place as I failed on 80kg , had to have assistance to return the bar to the peg's.

Finished with Pull up's (MAX 10)and Curl's/ Reverse curls. After failure on the bench my mindset was not right for putting in the best efforts here.

In hindsight pyramid's and doing back to back's are not best but the overall amount of wrok done was way above what I normally achieve in the same time
