So today was day 2 of week 1 of One Hundred Pushups. It was really rough to knock out the 3rd and 4th set. I didn’t think I was going to be able to pull it off. With much effort, however, I managed to push myself to finish it, so that was cool. I don’t know how I’m going to do day 3, but we’ll figure it out when we get there on Saturday. I only did 11 for my “max” set today, I was hoping for a higher number.

On another note, I have decided to increase my weight lifting weight…stuff, so I knocked out 85 pounds on the tricep machine, and revved up to 80 pounds (a 15 pound increase) on the bicep curl machine. I actually managed to knock out 15-15-7 on the bicep thing before having to drop the weight back down to 70 to finish, but damn that felt GOOD. It’s nice to know I’m getting stronger.

However, after doing a pretty good ab workout on tuesday, I haven’t been able to get to the level of Cardio I wanted to this week. I basically tore up my midsection, and since your core is a major component of .. well.. everything.. I’m sure you can imagine what portion of my body ended up giving out long before the rest of me.

Looking forward to a “repair day” tomorrow. Perhaps I’ll go in and do some light cardio. Nothing taxing. Sunday I’ll probably be back in doing some weight training on upper body/abs. Tuesday will start week 2 of the One Hundred Pushup Challenge, should we be comftorable enough with week 1, otherwise, we will repeat week one.
