Face Pulls

Face pulls:

109: 10,10,10

Neck:

Back:
109: 6,10,8
1st set felt crack in my neck during last rep

Front:
86: 6,7,8

Left:
86: 6,7,7

Right:
86: 6,7,7

Shadowboxing:

6 x 2 min on, 1 min rest

Skipping:

3 x 2 min on, 1 min rest

Notes:

The weight on the cable machine I use to perform face pulls and neck exercises is incorrect. The full stack supposedly weighs 109 kg (239.8 lbs), but it definitely does not feel that heavy.

Started using an interval timer app on the iPod while shadowboxing and skipping. Works OK, but there are a few bugs.
