Nerd Pushups: Another Rough Start
Week 4 Day 1 2010-02-01
Max in last set: 25
Notes: 18-22-14-14-25
Ugh.
I almost forgot to post today. Today was another off day. Maybe because It’s a tough day, maybe because I was only working on 3 hours sleep after a work call woke me up at 2am.
Sets 1 and 2 were fine, but I came up short on the 3rd and 4th. Coming to exhaustion after only 14 of the 16 on each. Maybe it’s the 60 second breaks, they seem particularly hard. My endurance isn’t quite up to snuff yet. I had to wait about 5 minutes between the 4th and fifth set and I was able to manage 25, not one more.
I must remember despite my dissapointing performance that just 3 weeks ago I was able to manage 8 whole pushups. Today I did 68 in about 6 or 7 minutes. Each set far greater than my initial maximum. That’s a heck of an improvement that I am quite proud of. Lets see how the week goes….There is always the option to repeat a week…
In other news, I have a couple of Qigong videos I’ve been looking at. I used to meditate a fair bit but haven’t in quite some time. It seems appealing if not neccessary lately.
The twohundredsitups program is also nagging at me to go as well…Might just start that this week.
I think a lot of this drive to do all of these things may be rooted in the fact that I am turning 35 this year and I don’t want to be a 35 year old blob who has aged far before his time.
