Push Ups: Week 1, Day 1
So I wanted to post this right after my workout; although, I don’t know that I’ll be able to do that in the future. After finishing the first day of the workout, I can barely lift my arms over my head, save type this update.
Right now I actually feel pretty good. My biceps are burning hot, but I can feel the muscles building. It’s a good feeling, but a feeling that you can’t get unless you’ve just completed an intense workout. And in all honesty, “intense” barely scratches the surface of what that workout was.
To give you a better sense: in the final set, when I was supposed to perform as many push-ups as I could, the instructions were to perform at least 20. I collapsed after 12 and forced myself to squeeze out another 4 before begging for mercy.
Why did I think this was going to be easy?
In any case, since I might not be in the proper state to write a whole post on my progress in the future, I can still give you all updates without further straining myself. I found that on hundredpushups.com you can record your fitness progress online. All you have to do is register and you can have your own push ups logger. I went ahead and made one for myself so you all can see where I am at any point.
The following link will take you to my push-up log: Street Saint’s Push Ups Logger
And if you create your own push up log, please send the link to me! I’d love to keep track of your progress as well.
Right now, I’m going to drink about a gallon of water. I need to think ahead next time set out some water in a dog bowl before my workout, that way I don’t have to use my arms to lift a water bottle…
