Ice Cream
Chocolate ice cream was my reward before going to bed. My reward for knocking out 50 push ups in a row. This morning I did another round of push ups in my quest for 100. I repeated the same thing I did on Friday - Week 4, Day 1, Column 3 - though I got a little closer to the plan total of 120.
| Set | The plan | What I did | Difference | Post Rest Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 | 21 | 0 | 1.5 min |
| 2 | 25 | 25 | 0 | 1.5 min |
| 3 | 21 | 21 | 0 | 1.5 mins |
| 4 | 21 | 21 | 0 | 3 mins |
| 5 | 32 | 29 | -3 | |
| Total: | 120 | 117 | -3 |
From some other blogs I've seen and from my brother Greg's updates in the comments, it seems getting past week 4 is a pretty good challenge in itself. I put together a spreadsheet that details all my push up workouts against the attempted plan day. At the end of the week I'll put it up as a pdf for historical reference and just in case anyone is interested.
Being able to do 50 is a bit of a confidence booster. I remember doing 60 in one minute back in college. Basically one per second. I may be getting close to that again.
I did this one today, and I managed the final 32 this time. Last week I could only manage 22. I'm definitely seeing progress.
