PUSH UP DAYS 173-178

445 Push ups

Sets per day:

• 1 = 25 reps
• 1 = 30 reps
• 5 = 155 reps   (30, 40, 30, 30, 25)
• 1 = 25 reps
• 1 = 25 reps
• 6 = 185 reps   (25, 55, 30, 30, 20, 25)     

Fairly pleased with the single set effort of 55 knowing that I didn't go to failure...right now it makes me think I should restart serious efforts/volume, but right now doesn't seem to matter nearly as much as first thing each morning.

So...I guess 10,000 reps is not a magic number.   I will say that push ups are much easier now than when I started this streak, but I cannot consider myself anywhere near a master of them.   Probably need to increase effort again, but, we'll see.

PUSH UP DAYS 109-150

1025 Push ups

• 41 straight days of streak extenders.   Yeah, seriously.   The number of places, forms, sets, etc. are to voluminous to recap here, but that's mostly because I just don't remember them all.  I only know that the streak continues even though my posting has not been as consistent.   I keep thinking I'm going to get back into doing actual workouts involving push ups, but so far I just keep thinking that.   The streak extenders only streak started as a way to hopefully heal some right wrist issues I was having...the right wrist seems to be better now, but more recently I've been motivated to delay resuming actual workouts until my right shoulder heals.   I hurt it throwing baseballs, whiffle balls and footballs all in close succession when playing with a friends kids -- they're into throwing stuff and I enjoyed it, but now know that I overdid it.   Anyway, maybe I'll restart in August.   For now I have to hope that I continue to remember to do my push ups as many times I have thought of the streak as I laid down to sleep for the night, meaning I had to get up, get down and reel off 25 push ups.
