Workout Update: Chalean Extreme Day 29

Day 29 of CE is the first day of the Push phase, with the Push Circuit 1 video. Like the Burn Phase, there are 9 total moves in the workout, so it is relatively short (about 32 minutes including warm-up and cool-down). None of the moves are compound, so you are just focusing on one muscle group at a time. This workout mostly focuses on arms (biceps and triceps) and then has a couple of squat moves and a set of push-ups at the end. In the push phase, you lift heavier weights and max out at between 6 and 8 reps. The last six exercises all have an extreme set at the end (three ultra-slow reps). For the most part, I guessed the weight correctly. For some of the exercises, I could only get to six reps, and for a couple, I was able to hit the 8 reps, but barely. The only exercise I greatly underestimated the amount of weight on was the heel squats, so I will be bumping that up pretty significantly next week. In the Push videos, Skip and Toni replace Mike and Donna, with Skip using the SelectTech dumbells along with Chalene, and Toni using the bands. Skip is not as annoying in this one as he is in the Burn Intervals workout, but there are times when he feels the need to reply to everything Chalene is saying, and I just want to punch him through my TV.
