I put it down to having spent so much time out of action recently, on top of not being the athletic type in general (I couldn't do a pushup until I was 16). Just to be able to pump through 30 pushups or 100 sit-ups is still something of a novelty; like my mind doesn't want to miss being ringside for it every time it happens...

Tried it again over the weekend; big Friday night didn't help - only got 26 in a minute, 32 at failure... then I spent Sunday fighting off a bout of stomach flu. I'm writing this while weak as a kitten, but all the retching and dehydration of the past 24 hours have really brought out the definition in my obliques.

APFT - Army Physical Fitness Test

A lot of pushup skill is the same as MA skill. It becomes muscle memory after a while. I can do them, eyes closed, and know exactly where my form is off. It comes with time, not individual skill.

And you really shouldn't do pushups or exercise when you're sick. You'll make yourself sicker, and you'll never get remotely close to your max.

Of course. The schedule for the weekend was - party-party-party Friday night, mount another couple of attempt at max-situps-in-a-minute on Saturday afternoon, spend Sunday feeling like I was about to die... the only push-up type activity I was doing then was pushing off the edge of the toilet bowl to ensure I didn't go in face-first...

187ish

push ups 52

SQUATS 68

[SevenStar]

I am late...my bad.

push ups - 83. I coulda done more, but I thought I saw somewhere that we had to come all the way back up... in the challenge we had at work, your chest had to touch a block that was 3 inches off the floor, and I didn't have to go all the way back up, so I knocked out 105.

I'll do squats tonight.
