I got 100 "push-ups" TRX using both feet elevated and declines. I also did a wealth of other TRX exercises during my lunch break. Ran a 5k after work. I don't think I could ever get 250 PU a day. My elbow tendons will say F you. |

Aerobic exercises are my thing so muscle building and strength stuff is not a normal thing for me. I have done some like XFit in the past few years but that was all very easy stuff. I see so many folks hurting themselves doing XFit. |

And for the 2nd time this year, 100 pushups completed in a single set. 5 minutes ago, I was at 49,900. It was a good way to finish out the challenge. |

1st day back doing strength training felt good. I haven't done a rep on the bench in probably 8.5 months, and I managed the following: Started out with 135x5 with a 2 second pause at the bottom. Went to 185 with the same. 200x5 205x5 215x6 Barbell curls were 70-80-90, all 10 reps each. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, so fortunately, I am planning on leaving early on Friday and then going back to the gym. That day will be core work, tricep press downs, and rows. |

decent workout yesterday. 3 sets on the lat pulldowns and now my left arm has limited mobility  I'll let it heal up and see how I feel Wednesday or Thursday when I decide to get back on the bench. Played basketball for 30 minutes as well. |

Yesterday was decent even though I was hungry hungry hungry after leaving the office. Back extensions were started first, with 30 reps unweighted, then 2 sets of 20 with a 25lb plate, and then a set of 30, 10 of which were unweighted and the last 20 were using the 25lb plate. Benched as well. 135x5. 2 second pause on the bottom of each rep. 185x5. 1 second pause on the bottom of each rep. 205x10. no pauses. |

Tonight marks a milestone I've been trying to get back to for several years. Since stopping pushups cold in August, I've been pretty regular on the free weights and as of tonight, have gotten back to a bench press of 270. I weigh 204. The last time I'd done 270 was probably 10 or 12 years ago. I knew I was close when I was able to bench 225 x 7 a couple weeks earlier. It's good and encouraging to know that things are shaping up as I hoped they would this year. Opening set was 185 x 5 with 2 second pause at the bottom. 2nd set was 195 x 5 with the same interval. 3rd set was 205 x 2, no pause. 4th set was 225 x2, no pause. 5th was 245x1. 6th was 255x1. 7th was 265x1. 8th was 270x1. Also did some curls with 80 x 10, 90 x 8, and 70 x 12. |
