The Hundred Pushup Challenge is utterly destroying me mentally right now. I couldn’t get back into it on Tuesday (schedualed day 1 of week 5) because I got sick. Yesterday I ate shitty and had a terrible day, so by the time I got to the gym to do my pushups, I had a pounding headache, which just pulsated until I wanted to vomit while trying to do my pushups, and my body just wasn’t having it, so I did what I could and figured I’d rev it up today. Since my ‘max’ was 45 after week 4, I was trying to follow colloum 3 of the program for week 5. I got in there today and my arms gave out after pushup 32 of 40 on the first set and I couldn’t recover enough to do the rest after that. So, I finished my sets, with breaks in the middle of them.. and didn’t do the max rep set.

Week 5 has not gotten off to a good start. SO. My plan is to rest tomorrow, and try again on Saturday morning. I should be able to knock out 40. I don’t know what’s going on. I can’t even do a full cardio workout without being completely worn out. I think a solid day off should do me good. Also, work stress which has been immense this week could be a factor. Tomorrow should clear my head.
