Today's Change-of-pace Workout

Today I mixed things up a touch by simply changing the nature of my last two sets.

So the first set was simply the following:

--Pull-ups
--Front barbell Squats
--Push-ups
--Pike (with feet on skateboard)

For the 2nd and third rounds of this set, however, I simply did "hold" moves.

For the Pull-up, that meant pulling up half way and holding that pose for the duration of the time.

For the front squat that meant gong half-way down and holding that pose for the duration of the time (legs got a little wobbly for the last few seconds.

Same goes for the Push-up and even the Pike.

Holding a move rather than going through the whole range of motion challenges the muscles in a different way and, when done occasionally, can offer a good change of pace to one's workout.
