Week 2 - 65% or 1 rep max. Disc 4 Chest, Shoulders, and Biceps - 55 minutes . This workout started with Pushups Drop Sets.

I had equipment everywhere as I moved from exercise to exercise. What I truly dislike about Meso 1 Muscle Endurance are all the push ups. In Disc 1, we had 136 total push ups - more if you count the fact that some sets were 1.5. Looking at my workout card, I had a couple of areas where I wrote "Go Heavier".
