Sunday was my test day, but I’ve come down with a cold.  Not the little cold, the one that makes you a bit sniffly for a few days.  This is a full-fledged cold that I’m fighting with all the zinc, vitamin C and white tea that I can.  So I’ll be delaying my testing until I’m feeling a bit better, and hopefully I won’t lose too much strength in the meantime.  Wish me luck!

As you may know it’s been two weeks since my last update, which means I should have tested again, but I chose not to in favor of an extra couple of rest days.  I already know that I have to repeat the last two weeks as there’s no way I’ll be able to do more than 30 push-ups in one set.  I had to drop from column 2 to column 1 and even that was hard, so I’m repeating  weeks 3 and 4 and I’ll test again in another two weeks.  It’s a bit of a setback, but I can tell I’m still making progress and ultimately that’s what matters.  I completed 82 push-ups today, and I’m pretty proud of that!

I completed the second week of the six-week hundred push-ups program last week, and over the weekend I completed the first in-program test. I did 21 push-ups in one set! That’s 11 more push-ups than I could do in one set when I started the program. Whoopie! On tap for today: 5 sets totaling 83 push-ups. If you find that prospect scary, you are not alone…
