Because I workout alone and don't have a spotter when I lift weights, I rarely lift to failure on some of the big lifts. That means, at least for me, a reduction in the overall intensity of the workout.
By jumping rope in between sets I was able to get my heart rate up and work up a good sweat too. It isn't the first time I've done, this but it is something I plan on doing regularly from here on out.
The Friday night workout focused on chest and shoulders. The exercises were a barbell bench press, barbell shoulder press (from a hanging clean movement), upright rows, dumbbell side raises and a barbell dead lift. I jumped rope in between sets.
The workout lasted about 1.25 hours.
