After taking a few days off, I resumed my push-up regimen today. The conversation of my campaign came up last night at my father-in-laws birthday dinner ( Happy birthday Barry if you're reading this!) where I was telling he and DJ that I try to put together a strategy before starting instead of just trying to pump out as many as I can. That's when I was introduced to the "walking pushup" (explained here). So I gave it a try. First two times were a breeze; 2nd two the burn starting to kick in; 5th and 6th brought a more intense burn; After the 7th and 8th time my arms were numb. I was seriously thinking that I wouldn't be able to lift my arms after I finished the 8th set;...After the 9th, I lost the desire to ever do push-ups again.
10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1= 55
55 x 9 = 495!!
Previous Rounds: 1&2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,

Herschel>Shae>>>>>Me
If you frequent the BBC/Ice Cream website, you would've saw Shae's attempt at 1000 pushups in 45 minutes after hearing of Herschel Walker's insane workout.
As I continued to read, I began to wonder exactly how many push ups I could do in 45 minutes.
1st attempt (Monday): I started strong but fatigue quickly set in. Had to take two- 5 minute breaks and struggled to finish. Ended with 198...Terrible!!
2nd attempt (Today): Did a little better than the first attempt. Ended with 231...+ 33.
Morale of the story is...I got a looong way to go!!
