Master 1675  Suwanee, Ga. | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! We all do whatever it takes to motivate ourselves...and others if need be. I give baseball hitting and pitching lessons to players from 11-20 years old....and one of the *motivational ideas* I do with my players is to have them do a task a certain way based on what we are working on that night and if they don't they do push-ups or crunches...If they do it correctly, then I have to do them.  Well last night as a motivator for us both, I gave each student something that I knew they could execute easily with p-u & cru. on the line....well they all performed great and it really boosted their confidence to see old Coach Steve on the turf doing push-ups and crunches. And there was no way I could bail on the drill with players and parents looking on.  So I am actually a little ahead for the week but it took me 10 minutes to type this because I can't lift my hands to get to the keyboard for longer than 2 minutes at a time... Good Luck with your training this week and Happy Holidays to all. Steve |

This is how my arms feel every Thursday by the time my 3rd set rolls around. I'm SOOOO looking forward to the weekend. I'm happier doing my 3 hour run than I am doing extra sets of pushups. |

Extreme Veteran 348 Cary, NC | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Another week in the books. More next week. Funny, it is getting harder and yet easier every week. And I am starting to look really ripped, at least on the inside. |

CubeFarmGopher - 2007-12-13 5:49 PM Yeah well get ready Cubey...the first thing we're gonna do tomorrow night is pushups...then we eat!! I'm happier doing my 3 hour run than I am doing extra sets of pushups.  Just kidding! (Well actually, I probably WILL do pushups before dinner.)Edited by Q 2007-12-14 2:46 PM |

Just some motivation for the weekend. Maybe one day we can all be like Chuck Norris. Even Tim Tebow wears Chuck Norris pajamas Finished for the week TOTALS TODAY PU- 2 sets x 10ea = 20 x twice today = 40p/u SU- 2 sets x 30ea = 60 x twice today = 120s/u Totals for the week P/U = 120 S/U = 360 Right on schedule. I am glad I stayed with the 2 sets. After evaluating during the first week I knew last Fri. that adding a set a week was just NOT going to happen. Massage Therapist says she can see/feel a difference in the biceps, pecs and deltoids. WOOO HOOOO. This was still a bad idea but maybe just not as bad as I thought. Steve |

Expert 1580 Ankeny, Iowa | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! I only got in 1/2 with this - we had a terrible ice storm come through which put me in the dark for 1/2 the week and kept me busy with other things to relate to it and the house (hubby is gone again). I managed to squeeze in 2 days of 2x125 for crunches and 2 days of 2x15 pushups. I will make up the missed session this coming week as well as the required 4 days.

Iron Donkey 38643 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Just in time to report that I finished for this week. Whew! SU - 2 x (2 x 20), plus 2 x (2 x 25) = 180 PU - 2 x (2 x 20), plus 2 x (2 x 25) = 180 Due to the swim challenge and this, I am monitoring my right shoulder "twinge" that is lingering. I'll finish the challenge but try not to push it as hard. How we all doing, folks? We're 1/2 way there!!!! |

Champion 5807 Henderson NV | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Great job everyone. Remember that abs and arms/chest are muscles and need a rest day just like all others. |

Master 1978 Chelmsford, Massachusetts | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! I haven't posted here much, but I do definitely feel a difference from doing this challenge. I'm back on track after missing one set and one full day last week. I made up both on Monday by doing 5x30 pushups and 5x75 crunches. |
