Hundred Push Ups Week 5 Day 2
Required: 20, 20, 18, 18, 15, 15, 14, at least 40
Same as last week; I managed the 2×20, 2×18 and 2×15 quite comfortably, but lost concentration and for some reason performed two sets of 14 instead of the required one. I only realized as I started my assault on the final 40.

Required: 40, 32, 30, 25, at least 40
Took my time on the first 40 and managed them with no problems. The 32 and the 30 were fine too - nice, deliberate push ups, […]
