    Done!

    37 Military push ups
    30 Hindu push ups

    3/5 plank - for the last two, I changed to side planks due to my lower back.

    Then I went to boxing and did 30 more pushups...The shoulders are SORE!

    Round 1:
    Mil- 7
    Hin- 6
    Plank: 1min
    Tried for 5 and surprised myself

    Round 2:
    Mil- 9
    Hin- 7
    Plank: 1min 33 sec
    Really tried to see what I could do (which was not much more)


    Round 3:
    Mil- 5
    Hin- 5
    Plank: 1min 15 sec

    Round 4:
    Mil- 5
    Hin- 4
    Plank: 1min 3 sec

    Round 5:
    Mil- 5
    Hin- 3
    Plank: 1min 12sec

    Once again, my wrists started to hurt.

    Honestly, I am shocked. I didn't even know I could do regular push ups (off the knee)

    I didn't quite hit the target but I am super happy at how well I did.

    Keep the challenges coming!!!

    Any tips for my wrists?

    Use weight lifting gloves and keep them tight and keep at it your risk will get stronger in time

    I never do what I'm told..

    But I did do 100 pushups. 4 sets of 25. Immediately after killing my arms and chest at the gym.


    My arms feel like 50lb weights.

    So proud of you guys!
    I am doing things a bit differently for now since i am coming off a long rest due to injury.

    I will be cheering you on and and maybe can join in when i feel like my back can handle certain things.

    Well, this kicked my *kitten* today. I didn't even make it all the way through.

    5/5/2 minutes
    5/3/61 seconds

    At least I set a PR with the 2 minute plank, I guess.

    Good morning little Spartan Beastlings! Today is Tuesday an that means PUSH-UPS AND PLANKS!

    Do more than last week, even if it's just one.

    For more - Look up the Dive Bomber push up - Thanks Runner_5!

    For more in your plank, in the plank position, move left three steps, then move right three steps - keep that core engaged and don't drop your lower back. If that's too much, simply rock back and forth on your toes (In a controlled fashion!).

    Have fun! (Tongue firmly placed in cheeck heh)
