Hot damn!

Yesterday evening I completed day two of week six of the Hundred Pushups Program. I noticed during week five that days two and three suddenly featured nine sets of pushups, and I found that to be very unfriendly. Last night after I finished all the sets and thought my arms might very well fall off, I decided to add up the total number I had done over the course of nine sets.

150. Crap, that’s a lot.

In between sets I’m supposed to rest for a little under a minute, and I get bored easily, so I have taken to doing squats or lunges in quick sets so as to work my legs as well. I added those up too—65 squats (including those really horrible jumping squats… I hate those) and 45 lunges. I am so hardcore. I also ran four miles and did some half-hearted bicycle crunches, in case you were curious.

Allegedly by Monday I will be able to do 100 pushups in succession. We’ll see.
