Default Pushup Challenge 2.2

16, 13, 13, 11, 30 (r:90 sec)

Pushups were a little tough this morning. Legs are a little sore from yesterdays workout. Thinking about going swimming this afternoon before Hanna comes our way.

Awesome job on tracking and the pushups!!!
It's cool so many are doing it with you. That's why I love this site, for those of us that are not around fitness people.

My boyfriend's gotten the push up bug too - he's more into it than I thought he'd be, which is pretty cool. And we're trying to outdo some of our college friends, so its fun.

Default Pushup Challenge 3.1

Pushup Challenge - Week 3 workout 1
25, 17, 17, 15, 30 (R:60)

This was probably the toughest PC workout I've done so far. At the end, my arms didn't want to hold me up anymore.


Also, did a set of HIIT on spinner bike beforehand.
3 rounds of 3 min each, 1 min hill, 2 min easy.

I took a few days off because I was racing on Sunday, and I don't like to lift weights right before race day. I did a Sprint Tri at the Jersey Shore. Despite lack of training, I did fairly well and held together a solid run/bike/swim. The swim was incredibly rough.

Monday was a recovery day (and I needed to study for grad class), and today I was back in the gym at lunch time.

Default Pushup Challenge 4.1

Holy Cow - Week 4 is going to be brutal

Workout 4.1 -- 21, 25, 21, 21, 35 (R:60)


---------------------
I decided to stretch FLI with 2 extra workouts, so it'll end right before I leave for a Columbus Day holiday at the happiest place on earth. That way my rest week ever so nicely falls on a vacation week. No rest on vacation though, running a Race for the Taste 10k at Epcot and bf & I will be continuing the pushup challenge.

Default Pushup Challenge 4.2

Pushup Challenge - Week 4-2

25, 29, 25, 25, 40 (R: 90 sec)

Its hard to believe its been 4 weeks of pushups - a few others in my alumni pushup group are slowing down and not posting progress. I think there are a few injuries. Bf and I are still going strong. Week 4 workouts are definately tough.

First workout back from vacation. I took it light tonight to learn the exercises and get back into the swing of things. It took less than an hour, which will make it a good lunch time session next time around.

Default Pushup Challenge 4.1 Redo & FL2 B.1

I decided to redo week 4 of the pushup challenge since I went on vacation.

21, 25, 21, 21, 35 (R 60 sec)


FL 2 B.1

Snatch Grip DL 3 x 12 @ 60
T-push up 3 x 12 @ BW, 5lb wgts, 7.5lb wgts

Bulgarian split squat w/ overhead press 3 x 12 @ 10s
Chin Ups 3 x 12 @ 64lb, 64lb, 58lb assists

RDL/Bent Row 3 x 12 @ 35, 40, 45
Lower Body Russian Twist 3 x 12 @ BW


My legs were shaking after completing the split squats. Oh my. I like this workout better than A, I think. I layed low on the DLs since it was workout 1. I'll amp it up next week. By the end of FL2 I'd like to be able to do chin ups with close to no assists. I think that would be pretty cool.

T-push up 3 x 10 @ 5lb, 10lb, 10lb

Bulgarian split squat w/ overhead press 3 x 10 @ 10s (10s still make my legs shake afterwards, but not feeling it so much in the shoulders)
Chin Ups 3 x 10 @ 80lb, 70lb, 60lb (assists)

RDL/Bent Row 3 x 12 @ 50, 50, 60
Lower Body Russian Twist 3 x 10 @ BW
