My second day of the one hundred push-ups plan meant higher reps, with longer rests between sets; 90 seconds, to be exact. I did 14-19-14-14 for my first four sets, and set five saw me max out at 12 and then fight my way to the required 19. My inability to hit their “at least” number for the final sets two days running makes me wonder if I should knock it back to “Week 2″ next week. We’ll see; maybe I’ll just tough it out in Week 3 until I can get it, or dial back my numbers but stay within the Week 3 range.
Then it was on to weighted pull-ups. All weights below are in addition to my bodyweight, which including my sneakers and workout gear was around 180lbs. (I really should weigh that chain/belt combo at some point, but I doubt the folks at Teagle would be cool with me walking it out of the gym.)
25 x 1
35 x 1
45 x 1
55 x 1
60 x 1
65 x 1
70 x 1 (maybe)
The last one’s a “maybe” because I’m not sure I got my chin up over the bar; I didn’t have anyone watching me, and I was a bit distracted. To err on the conservative side, I’d have to call 65lbs my PR on this one. But I’ll be back.
