CAL 101Oct 13, 2026

Worked out in the gym at the Hilton in Vegas. I was able to get a band and bust out 14 assisted pull-ups, 60 planche push-ups, 60 squats, and 60 crunches over a 20-minute period.

Turns out I'm a lot weaker than I remember I was able to do three good chest bar pull-ups focusing on back I did 27 push-ups and 28 seconds of a handstand with my feet and my body fairly off the wall I could barely go down for my pistol squat
