Push Up – 1 Set Max Test

leave a comment »

This morning I did another impromptu 1 set max test for push ups. I’ve been feeling a little sick lately, and had pretty low expectations. My training for the past 2 weeks has consisted of:

  • 4-5 days of push-ups, pull ups and situps (2-3 sets of each to failure)
  • a couple days of push up holds
  • 3 days of yoga
  • 3 days of lifting (1 day normal, 2 days using the static contraction technique with Kris)

I was surpised with Today’s outcome:

  • May 7th: 30
  • May 14th: 37
  • May 16th: 38
  • May 29th: 41
  • June 6th: 44
  • July 9th (Today): 54!!!!!

I am now right around my all-time personal best. I have a goal of crossing 60 by the end of August.
