Steady Muddling

It's been a while since the last update, but I'm still going. Current max reps are at 40 for pushups and 16 for pullups. Not quite where I want to be. I'm not giving up yet, though. The training program I found is based on some military folks and they tend to know their way around pullups and pushups. One area where I didn't think to try to improve was the bodyweight part of the equation. If I lose a few pounds, I'll have less weight to hoist, right? I wish I would have figured that out earlier in the game. Of course, you don't want to sacrifice strength either.

One thing I'm proud of in this challenge is my range of motion. Maybe I can get someone to take video of my reps (seriously, I will get some videos up one of these days), but two similar challenges I've seen with pullups (Month to Master and Kali Muscle) are some half-reppin' muthafuckas! Put the two of them together and you get full reps, though. That's something. Maybe I need some Hyphy Mud.

Push and Pull or Drag?

March Challenge: complete my age (36) in unbroken pullups and twice that number in unbroken pushups. My starting numbers are 11 and 26 respectively, so there is work to be done. I'm sure I'll find some way to embarrass myself if I fall short and I know for sure how to reward myself if I complete one or both. Anyway, mostly I just wanted to get a short update out there. Next time I'll show you how I attempted embarrassment for failing my last challenge and rewarded myself for the challenge before that, both in the same day!
