Did my first "exhaustion" test, and was a little disappointed, but will continue the program. 20 push ups, on my toes, reasonably good form, without resting. My first attempt, 2 weeks ago, was a puny 10, so there has been improvement. i shall be winning no bar bets just yet, however...
Circumference of Arm Flaps: 13 5/8" / 34 1/2 cm.
EXACTLY the same as last week (sigh). i knew it would be infinitesimal progress. But c'mon, i DID it this week, damn it!
Some lessons learned along the way...
- DON'T attempt push ups after backpacking adventure.
- DO attempt push ups earlier in the day.
- DON'T attempt push ups after getting hammered during a theater event.
- DO wait til the next morning and do it when you are hungover and have a terrible headache.
- DON'T skip your abdominal workouts just because you are tired, working longer days, have activities every evening that keep you out late, or are lazy and a slug...
- DO remember that you are accountable to your comrades out here in the blogosphere....
i give myself a C this week because i only did the abdominal work ONCE. Grrr....

Hey! Cut yourself a little slack. And have a tick for honesty.
You're building muscle! That's why the measurement doesn't um, measure up (or is it down?).
You're doing great! Definitely improvement, that's for sure. Well done!
Hungover pushups have to be pretty bad....
Impressive guide to bicep beauty.
