One Hundred Push Ups: The Final Test (A Sextet of Take)

You know the drilly; do as many push ups as is humanly possible:

30 ——> Already broke my new 50 minimum policy…bra-vo.

55 ——> Back to status quo.

70 ——> Hmmm…unexpected.

80 ——> Haven’t hit 80 straight in over a week and a half.

64 ——> The inevitable drop off.

(5 to 10 minute break between sets…I did what I felt like)

No new personal bests to report of (again). But at least I made it to 80 for the 3rd time ever. That gives me a glimmer of hope as I was caught in a 40-60 rut for the past 11 days or so and was afraid that I would be stuck there for a while. Breathing was important, as it always is. And the only strategy that continually gets me results is the balls-to-the-wall “do the reps as fast as possible” approach (with some considerable mental and physical hyping up beforehand). The slower I do the reps, the quicker my energy drains (or at least, that’s what it feels like). Hey, whatever works, right? Bottom line though is that, at almost TEN WEEKS in, the almighty 100 continues to elude me *smh* over and over again.
