Final Week # 30 April 2 2007.  All weights are for 8 reps.  (Flat Bench is for 7 reps)
I am really happy that I hit 13 for wide grip pullups(beginning of workout) and 17 dips
at the end of the workout.

I remember week one only being able to do 4 or 5 pushups after all the chest exercises.
Now I am able to do 10 - 12 reps.  True measument of a overall Strength Training challenge.
Thanks to Ron, Scott, and Mike for the motivation!!!  Good luck with your summer training/races.

 

See attached file below for the week by week results.

Great Job Matt!  Thanks for sticking with this and any others.  Truthfully it's been difficult to keep building momentum for such a long time.  But this challenge has at least gotten me back into it to keep doing something instead of quitting.  I came close to hitting some of the goals during the challenge, but alas, I couldn't do it.  Will keep trying though.

Here is what I pulled from week 1 to now:
