Day 8 was the start of week 2 in Lift 4. It was Chest and Triceps again, but this time in a circuit format: two blocks of 4 exercises performed back-to-back with only transition time between them, then a 30-second break between the first two sets and a 60-second break after the third set before the second block. Then, a burnout round consists of three sets alternating wide push-ups and triceps push-ups. Finally, you finish with the core block, which alternates bent-knee windshield wipers and weighted flutter kicks for three sets.
This one definitely burns out your chest and triceps. I used the same weight as last week for the repeated exercises (there are a couple of new ones), but by the burnout round, I could only do push-ups on my knees and ended up doing micro push-ups in the second and third sets. I did have to pause a couple of times during the core exercises and switch to the modified flutter kicks for a few seconds, but I definitely have better strength and stamina than I did in the prior rounds of Lift 4.
