Week 1, Day 2 (Pushups)

I thought yesterday was just a fluke, but today I felt just as tired when I started the routine. Still, none the less, I pushed on today -- if I make an excuse of being tired for one day, then I will just find myself making excuses for another day, and the next thing I know, I'll have lots of excuses and no exercise. The way I see it, if I go to work, I can work-out. Plain and simple.

That being said, however, I think it would be to my benefit to change when I workout. I have a sneaking suspicion that I am dead tired when starting my workout because I'm getting home at 9 and working out, which means I'm working out after 14 hours of straight work. Maybe if I switch to my lunchtime I wont find myself so tired.

In this set, I found myself getting really tired near the middle of set 4 -- I also had to restart set 3 as I did the pushups wrong (and have a nice back pain to thank for it). Here are this weeks results:

Set 1: 6
Set 2: 8
Set 3: 6
Set 4: 6
MAX (minimum 7): 8

Total pushups this workout: 34

I was a little disappointed that my max wasn't higher, but I still have 5+ weeks to work on that.
