I'm doing well at some things but not others.
I am terrible at Bulgarian Squats. I do about 25 per leg before my balance gives out. I hate these things, they're awkward. And squatting the day before doesn't help, but it's not really a strength problem, I just can't do many without stopping. I put my foot down for 5 seconds, readjust, and keep going. I can do all 100 hamstring curls without a problem even after the Bulgarian squats. But after both of those my situps suffer. I can do 100 if rested but not after everything else.
I finally did the 100 front plate raises without stopping. It was not fun. But after that I'm nowhere close to 100 curls. I can get 60 before I have to drop the bar. I just can't do 100 after doing tr front plate raises. Maybe if I had longer to rest, but I don't have all day. And the Kirk Karwoski Rows are the worst. After the plate raises and curls I have no grip left whatsoever and my shoulders feel like they've been hit by a truck. I usually get 30 reps at 135 lbs before having to put it down. Then I do sets of 15 or 20 to finish it off. I only need a few seconds rest to get back after it bur I can't go straight through.
I doubt I'll get all 300 reps in a day without stopping on either upper or lower body days, but after the challenge I'll see how I do at some 100 reppers when I'm well rested. I think I can get 100 of it all if I'm rested.
