I’ve now passed the halfway mark in my 30-Day Pushup Challenge and we’re now on the downhill side of things.
Side note: Scary that the first month of the New Year is already half over. Crazy! And I’ve only written the wrong year once, shockingly.
Anyhow, on with this week’s report:
01/16/24:
200 pushups completed. Still a bit sore from my 1,000 Rep excursion, but not too terrible. Broke them down into sets of 50 per usual. Nothing overwhelmingly positive or negative to report. Just four sets of solid pushups.
01/17/24:
200 pushups completed. 4 sets of 50, 2 sets of diamond pushups, 2 sets of normal pushups. Almost forgot to do them today, I was sidetracked with some other stuff and then my internal alarm went off and reminded me ๐
01/18/24:
200 pushups completed. First set was a set of 75, next was 25 and then two more sets of 50 to finish it off. Bit of tenderness in the left elbow today, but nothing terrible. Not totally unexpected in this circumstance though. If I have to modify and do partials for a day, I will. See how it feels tomorrow!
01/19/24:
200 pushups completed. Ended up doing four sets of 50 for partial reps, as today, my right elbow decided to start clicking. Ironically, the left elbow that was bugging me yesterday is fine. Go figure! Anyhow, still on pace to finish the week and polish off the last 11 days of this challenge.
01/20/24:
220 pushups completed. Had trouble getting going and started off slow today with two sets of 25 and then three sets of 50 spread out through the morning. In the afternoon, I felt like I could do a bit more, so I did two sets of one-armed pushups, ten per side. Ten days to go and I can put this challenge to bed!
