If Paul had started his long pole practice on 2 Sep, then today would be the 4th day.

This means that he should have performed the following number of repetitions :-

a) Technique 5 – 300 reps
b) Technique 6 – 600 reps
c) Technique 7 – 300 reps

At the end of the 4th day Paul can do a quick check of his practice by practising 3-WS-1 to 3-WS-2.

Any insights after practising 3-WS-1 to 3-WS-2?

After 600 reps of Technique 6, I expect that Paul to go Ah! Eureka! the moment he does 3-WS-1. If not, then I guess he needs more practice. He can check again at the end of the 6th day.
