So I never made time for push ups today. But.....what I did do is drop to the floor in between tasks and do random sets of pushups throughout the day. I never made time for them...but I did get a few in here and there. Didn't get to my usual numbers, but still managed to crank out 290 reps today....in the bedroom, in the laundry room, in the kitchen...in the garage. 34150 YTD Also did a few pull ups every time I went out to the shop...got maybe a dozen good ones and few cheaters. For a day that I never had a dedicated workout, I'm satisfied. View Quote Incrementalism! |

I knew it was a matter of time. Threw my back out bad last night. Spent most of today just trying find a comfortable position to sit in. Just got in 150 pushups and 85 dumbbell curls. Thats it for today. Sucks. Definitely made no progress today....will hope for a better day tomorrow.

Definitely better this morning. Still tender, but I'm up and at it. Got in 200 during my morning routine and will see how things go later.
Found a steal for some dumbells on FB marketplace so I am picking those up tonight and will be getting in some bicep curls later for sure. Will try to get at least a few solid pullups. Rest day is over. |

Considering I could barely get out of bed yesterday I'm blessed to be hitting it hard today. I think it was all a delayed reaction to running with the chest rig. Too much impact on my lumbar spine. Will need to ease into that a bit. ETA - 800 pushups for the day. Definitely still dealing with the back....stiff right now, but I feel a whole lot better with a workout under my belt. 35,100 YTD. Still on target for 10,000 per month. Back at it in the morning. Grind forward men. |

Today was the proudest workout of my life. For reference, I started lifting weights in the 1980's.....trained at Golds Gym, World's Gym, and countless other gyms on and off for almost 40 years. I've run road races for over a decade...I've trekked in the rockies....but today I had an experience that tops it all.
Today my 12 year old joined me for my work out, and she has been so enthusiastic about helping me train for the murph. She is the most patriotic kid you will ever meet....she did pullups with me tonight, is doing dips, and wants desperately to join my on Memorial day. Tonight was the first time she really joined me for a complete start to finish session. She told me how happy she is that we are getting into shape and how much she is enjoying working out. I've trained for 40 years...and I know the mental benefits of being in shape. To see her have that same lightbulb go on tonight gave me a feeling I've never truly felt. I now know that no matter what comes, she can always reset to this moment, and understand in her heart and mind why we need to train. The word pride doesn't really describe it. It's more like absolute contentment. She is starting to understand why hard work pays off. We both worked out really hard, got exhausted, I gave her a hug, and honestly...this is what it's all about. I will put her to work for the murph...she can definitely do squats with me. Depending on the shape I'm in at the end, maybe I'll just walk a mile with her. Time will tell. But anyway....I digress. Pushups. 400 today. 35,700 YTD Grind on brothers. Grind on. |

Gettin' by on gettin' by is my stock in trade.

I've been dealing with some crazy work and personal stuff and been off of Arfcom for a while.
I've been doing the daily 3 miles and 500 push ups but the has been a bit hit or miss. I'm still focused on the Murph and doing reps of pull ups, push ups and air squats daily. The 1 mile runs, push ups and air squats are easy enough, but I have some work to do on the pull ups over the next 7 weeks. I can rip off 10x5 and need to get the reps up to 10 per set, gotta try harder the rest of this month. Keep Grinding |

I mowed for 6 hours. I had to fold the brim of my hat so it wouldn't blow off. Ears and neck are a little radiant. Once supper settles, 40 pushups are due.
If you want a "delay" tactic that still works the arms, top off your automobile tires with a bike pump. About 15 pumps per PSI. I forgot to mention this the other day. |

I am in awe of the numbers you all put down. Kudos gents.
After months of plateau I finally made it to 12 reps on my first set in today’s workout. I might have had 13 in there, but I’m no spring chicken so have to balance intensity with caution so I don’t wreck my shoulders again. At 56 it’s nice to see some definition in my arms after decades of flabby. |
