Operation "Arm Flaps" - Week 3 Wrap Up

i'm still at it... and feeling marginally stronger. Haven't done much more than the push up work, and the alternate day abs/core stuff has slid - but i've been bicycling and hiking on those days, so i think i'm still making some progress.



The metrics this week: 13 1/4" / 34 cm


Miniscule progress, but i believe it is becoming real...





In hindsight, i think i should have come up with a different measurement technique. Perhaps something to do with timing the resonance of the flaps? Give 'em a push and see how long it takes for the flappage to stop?


Also, an action shot... A day on the water, playing in river kayaks. Definitely got an extra upper body workout. Not so much from the paddling, but from lifting my drink bottle filled with Crystal Light Lemonade and Vodka. Lunch. Yay...

No, I don't like that flap measurement idea. No.At.All.It's the danger of leaving the ground in a following wind, see?

But I love the paddling.
(Today, I've done extra walking-had to take my car in and walked several hundred metres to the bus then more at the other end.Bike later if I don't collapse!)

You're doing great! Two inches is huge! (In a manner of speaking, tee hee hee.) You're an inspiration.

Yeah, it seems like it's a tough thing to measure progress on, especially over a relatively short time.

Maybe your metric should be how many 12 oz curls you can do before your arms get tired.
