Day 50 was the first upper-body workout of the final week of the program. It used the Dirty MOFO format and worked the chest, shoulders, back, and triceps. The weighted exercises each used one of the tempos (4x4 for chest press, 1x3 for front raises, and 3x1 for back flys). The final exercise was negative triceps push-ups in which you start with one of the modified versions, progress as far as you can (hopefully to an unmodified version for at least part of the 20-second set), then modify again. The workout was challenging, but I can tell I'm making progress with my muscular endurance and strength gains. I could do the entire 20-second set of negative triceps push-ups unmodified, which I could not do at the beginning of the program. It will be interesting to do Lift 4 again after this program since many of the exercises in this program are in that one, but without the tempos (or mostly a 2x2 tempo).
