2022 fitness goals. Let's get after it. (Page 2 of 3)

Funny how my new daily minimum of 300 begins page 2. Started the day with 5 sets of pushups at 0735. 90 reps. 1:40. 2nd set was 60 pushups, which got me half way to my daily goal. 3 sets of 50 to finish out before moving to pullups. All done by 0800. I did 50 pullups, which consisted of 2x 15 and 2x 10 with various grip changes. This was after doing 100 on Saturday in roughly 1 hour. |

0710. Get warmed up in the sauna. I wanted to be here by 0700 but had to stop by work for a few minutes to pick up a tool I needed at home. First set of pushups began at 0737. 80 reps in 1:22. 220 reps to go. Set 2 was done at 0745. 70 reps in 0:51. 150 to go for the day. Sets 3-5 are all 50 reps each. 0750. 0:34. 0755. 0:34. 0800. 0:35. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I want to get 300 done in 15-16 minutes instead of 24 like it was today. Perhaps I will do 6 sets of 50 tomorrow and see how much time that requires. |

Getting a little bit of a late start this morning. Had to meet a good friend of mine at work at 0700 to receive some parts he needs work done on. Thankfully the sauna in the gym is at 170° and getting my hands thawed out is easier this way  Will begin pushups at roughly 0745. |

First set of pushups at 0745. 85 reps in 1:13. 2nd set of pullups was done at 0748. 15 reps. 2nd set of pushups was done at 0751. 65 reps in 0:41. 3rd set of pullups was done at 0754. 10 reps. 3rd set of pushups was 50 reps at 0757. 0:37. 100 to go. 4th set of pullups was done at 0800. 10 reps. 4th set of pushups was 50 reps done at 0804. 0:37. 5th set of pushups was 50 done at 0807. 0:50. 900 to go for the week. 150 to go for pullups for the week. Tomorrow will get some kettlebell swings and mid-air catches in place of pullups. |

Next set at 0800. 72 in 0:52. 130 to go. Set 3 was done at 0804. 70 reps in 1:06. Last set of the day at 0808. 60 reps in 0:57. 300 tomorrow gets me to 9500 for the year. I might shoot for 10k by Sunday. |

I just told my wife that by my 43rd birthday, I wanted to be able to put 300 pushups down in under 10 minutes. Today gave me some inspiration. Glad you're benefitting as well. |

Going to get 300 pushups and 100 kettlebell swings and mid-air catches done today. Pushups started at 0738. 90 reps in 1:40. 2nd set 60 reps in 0:42. 3rd set at 0746. Done in 0:36. 4th done at 0749. 0:36. 5th set at 0752. 50 reps in 0:35. 14000 for the year. Now I have to pick whether I will do 1000 in one day or 500 in consecutive days next week. |

I haven't been updating much this week. Been doing a lot of kettlebell catches and pull-ups, etc. I'm going to do my 1k pushup challenge tomorrow after work starting around 1400hrs and seeing if I can finish before 1700. My guess is it will happen, since I'm mentally capable of putting 300 down in under 15 minutes, which leaves 2 hours and 45 minutes to do 700. I did do some dips early in this week to change up what motions I'm going through and I'm hoping to see if I can put my first or 2nd set of pushups over 100 to maybe 110 reps. |

Today gets me to 18000. Next week will have 1500 more and then I'll do 500 in a single day to get to 20k. The week with the single day will incorporate dips with my chain belt a couple days and flies and other chest exercises. After reaching 20k, 400 pushups per day for 5 days/wk to 30k. After that, 500 per day until 65000. Starting pushups at 0742. First set came in at 100 reps in 1:43. 0746. 50 in 0:35. Halfway through. 0749. 50 reps in 0:36. 0752. 50 pushups in 0:49. 0755. 50 pushups in 0:44. 20 pullups to complete now. |
