My pecs feel like they've been hammered and stamped on after yesterday's push-up test. I think I'll leave it a week before starting my session otherwise I'll never get started.

southernsoftie, sounds like you've got a handy scaffolding contact there. (Come to think of it, I'm sure there's a short length of scaffolding pole in my parents' cellar. Must remember to check.)

OneHillWonder, I know where you're coming from. It's a virtual impossibility for me too.

john, perhaps it might be best to wrap some insulating tape tightly around it instead? Cringe cringe.

Review Test : 30 pushups

Was a little bit tired still - probably should have had one more rest day before trying it because I reckon I could probably have done 35 or so.

Still, a 50% increase in 2 weeks is nothing to be sniffed at, especially for a fatty like me!

Week 4 Day 2 Col 3

25/29/25/25/Max 36 (140 total)

Oh. My. God. I'm typing this with my toes. So very painful!!! Again, I had to break my last set up, pausing for a few seconds at the top before knocking out another few. In the end, max set looked like: 10/10/4/4/4/3/1.

Still another day closer...
