If anyone knows what my title is from, we will be friends forever. I picture it EVERY TIME I talk about pumping iron. Hah. I thought since I was over the halfway point of my 100 pushups challenge, I would briefly update my progress.
I haven't measured or taken any pictures since I started, BUT I've noticed a stamina difference. First, let's clarify that I'm only doing knee pushups...not real ones. When I first started the challenge, I had to break them up into 5 sets of 20, and the last set was usually a struggle to finish. Then I was doing 4 sets of 25. Then I missed a few days and was doing over 150 a day. (Oops) But for the past two days, I've done 3 sets of 30 and then a last set of 10. BOOM.
You know what would be awesome? Being able to do 50 in a row. I'm thinking maybe on my last day, I'll try that and see what happens. And who knows, maybe after these 30 days I'll be able to do a real pushup...? All right, that might be unrealistic. Ha.
GO PACKERS!
use dumbbells and do push ups. push up, then row the each dumb bell, one at time to your chest. repeat many times...
ReplyDeleteWhat are you, a workout guru now?? Those sound hard! Is that what you do??
ReplyDeleteyeah i do those. when i was in the us i used 5lb, 7.5lb and 10lb dumbbells, but in japan i use 2kg (almost not really 5lbs), and 3kg (~7 lbs) or do pushups with a swissball (put your feet on it. works your core too. or you can do a push up then do a pike.
