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....
