PUSH UP DAY 38

225 Push ups

  • 10 sets
    • 25, 29, 25, 25 standard with 1 min rest between
    • 47 standard after 5 min rest
    • 10 on fists after 2 min rest
    • 10 diamond after 1 min rest
    • 15 wide after 1 min rest
    • 14 feet up on couch after 1 min rest
    • 25 standard after 5 min rest

Interesting to me that after 5 minutes rest, still feeling some fatigue, that I could match my "initial" test reps.   I like to think this means I am getting better at them, but I guess it could mean that 47 remains my max, I can just duplicate it using various warm up routines.

Hiked up Stone Mountain prior to this effort, I should've done these at the top of the mountain, but didn't.  I really enjoy hiking Stone Mountain and wonder why the only time I think I've ever done it is on Good Friday...of course we did it that day perhaps 20 years in a row, so I've done it many times, just not often.

Really exhausted me.   1 min between first four sets and then I took about 3 minutes before last set.   Max sets are truly a difference maker.   This was my restart of week 4 of the infamous program I have concerns I may never complete.   What kind of person can follow the program perfectly the first time?   One stronger than me, that's for sure.
