Week 6 Day 1

It so nice to be into week 6...

Surprisingly this workout went down a lot easier than expected.

Program: 56,45,42,40, max (at least 56)
Actual: 56,45,42,30,27
Daily Total: 200
Overall Total: 4597

So you'll notice this is still the old program. There didn't seem to be much point switching to the new one in mid-stream. I printed the old one off some time ago.

The first two sets were fairly straight forward. During the third set I paused around number thirty and finished the last 5 one-by-one.

The last two sets were just the best attempt.

While I didn't complete the workout, I'm pleased that I broke 200 and I'm looking forward to completing this week.

BTW. At some point during week 5 I ran a linear regression and it showed I'd be repeating week 6 for 10 weeks to complete it. Averaging 200 per workout that would put me around 10,000 pushups to complete the whole program. Pretty funny.

That was before pumping out eighty during the last trial and 200 today. I'm hoping I'll complete the hundred long before successfully completing week 6.

"Good Lord" is a good description. I was surprised too, but I've been targeting 180-ish. I think it's how the workout is structured.

BTW. I prefer the term "Sweet Holy Moses" ;-)
