100 press upy type things
June 14th, 2010Lat week I mentioned that I started doing the 100 press up program which should surely mean that this week is week two of said program. Well no, it isn’t. It’s week one all over again, why?well my own stupidity and over riding ability to lie to myself. Before entering into week one a test is performed to see how many press ups you can do. I lied to myself and said that I managed 6. What really happened was I did 5 and a bit really bad press upy type things and counted them as 6. I have noticed a marked improvement over the week of how many truly bad press ups I could do but for me this isn’t enough. Admitting defeat I have gone back to the beginning and started again. As a result my press ups this morning were a lot closer to the ground than last week and my form is a hell of a lot better to. Due to the extra effort put into the new press ups I’m doing I still found day 1 challenging enough to not be easy, that last one was a doozy. So it’ll take 7 weeks not 6, lesson here, be more humble and don’t think your better than you are. Actually that applies to life in general really.

Lol, I’ve just started this as of last week. But I managed 21 chin to floor reps on the test and that did me. Then after doing the first few sessions (which adds up to about 65reps a session), I can feel the muscle actually getting some attention.
I hope I didnt over do it on the first day to… Though I don’t think I did, but we shall see!
