NSV- push ups

bhall33

When I started working out I could barely do 3 push ups, pretty pathetic for a man. Well this morning to keep my heart rate up while doing p90x as it was dropping I just randomly pushed out 40 push ups without a problem. Then the next time it started dropping I pushed out 20 and then 20 more. So I did 80 push ups within the span of about 30 mins, and could have easily done more.

Reason for heart rate dropping, couldn't do p90x to my full extent since it was 6:00am and was trying to keep it quiet as people where sleeping. So had to avoid jumping jacks ect which can be loud.

I struggle to do 10 girl push ups (the ones where you arn't on the balls of your feet but your knees). So i say WTG! I am very impressed.

I'm still doing "girl" pushups (using knees). Sadly, when I started 4 weeks ago, I could barely do 3-4 of those. I can now do about 10-12. Maybe by next month I can graduate to regular push-ups!

Thanks everyone, I hated doing push ups at first, but that's where I see my biggest gains. Every week the number tends to increase. And I truly believe I can do 100 push ups straight, in the next month or two. Now its one of my favourite things to do.

One thing I did when I started and could barely do any, I would do as many regular as possible then finish the rest doing "girl" push ups, I still do this.
