Happy *#$&#ing Tuesday!: Week 4, Day 1

I don't want to talk about it. Let's do push-ups. Sets are 21, 25, 21, 21 and at least 32. Go!

Snap, crackle and pop aren't just cartoon pitchmen for sugary stuff you shouldn't feed to a goat. No trouble, no pain. One minute's up...

Twenty-five done. Started to get resistance at 15. Ignored it. Next...

Started dragging at the 12th rep and had to pause at 19. Breathing hard. I'll be taking extra rest here. No reason to try going beyond my ability. Took a much longer rest than I intended, about 15 minutes. Since what's done is done let's see what difference it makes...

They certainly weren't easy, but I was able to snap them out fairly quickly. I am definitely noticing an increase in shoulder strength. A minimum of 32 coming up. That feeling in your stomach when you're about to attempt something and you're not sure if you can do it, that's excitement at the prospect of success...

I had a little talk with myself and came to a beneficial understanding. I was going to do 32 push-ups without stopping. So, I did. That's 120 on the day. See you day after tomorrow.
