I'm nowhere near you guys; I have no idea HOW to work out with weights. HOWEVER,... When this started early this month, I would do 20 pushups for 3 or 4 sets, then go down to 10 or 15 set pushups. NOW, I do sets of 30 for the 1st 2 sets, and 20 for the next bunch. I'm keeping my #s updated on my 1st post on pg 1. |
Thank you to DukeFan23 and dbrad197.

I'm keeping my #s updated on my 1st post on pg 1.  There will come a time when you start knocking out sets of 50, and even 70 or 80 by year's end. Then you start thinking about a set of 100. When you reach that mark, it is gratifying. |

So today is normally a rest day, but after doing the math of how many pushups per week I need to hit my goal, I got after it. 300 down. 6300 YTD. Monday-Friday will still be 350x5 (if not more) and 250 on Saturday (if not more). I'll be shooting for this level for the entirety of February. 8700 through the end of next month = 290/day. Work hard early to create margin later. |

Updated my thread by condensing January. I started with 20-ish pushup sets. Now, the 1st 2 sets are 30. All others are 20. I do them during the load screens for Outer Worlds, on breaks at work.... I am incorporating curls on a curl machine while at work. Might as well work my biceps too... |
