Day 71 Closing out Worksheets!

Well Well Well,if it isn't Bobby the Softy from the Power hour. Today, I started out with one goal in mind...keep up with Bobby and the Band Man, and try not to fantasize too much about the German Potato Soup. It's fulfilling to close out a worksheet, and motivating as well. I really wanted to push it today to see how much improvement I'd actually get from day 1 to now.
Pull ups still are my nemesis. The laws of physics are conspiring against me on this one I'm afraid. 6'5" and 217lbs makes for a tough task of pulling all of that mass up over the bar. I'm getting there and I'm still committed to making a run at round two of this to really put myself over the top. Day 1 I did not do any free hanging pullps, today I did 10 free hanging pull ups.


Pushups are a different story...day 1 I only did 44 regular pushups before dropping to my knees like a woman. Today I did all of my pushups regular and got in 186 push ups! Major improvement, I'm not a math whiz but I think that's a 425% gain in performance.
The crazy thing is, not only are the numbers staggering to me but my form is near perfect and my entire body is now rigid throughout the sets of pushups. I don't know how those guys get over 20 dive bombers but I'll get there. I had to skip ab ripper due to taking my sister and nieces to the aeropuerto this morning but I will get it in tonight before dinner.
Manochevitz up tomorrow.
