March 28, 20205 yr Well done. I generally stick to a Monday to Saturday routine now. Unless something comes up that I have to miss a day. Doing a simple PPL split twice weekly, so even if I miss a day, I'll still have done that working group once for the week. Generally just switch the main focus from first to second workout for the week (ie. Mon chest focus push, Thu shoulder/overhead focus push). So that no single muscle is too fatigued and to prevent overuse injury. Still hit all muscles in that days group.
April 7, 20205 yr Author Admin Been on a very steady streak here. Took yesterday off and there was just too much work and stress. Today will be plenty of exercise, including another peloton ride with friends.
April 7, 20205 yr Awesome. Good to hear. Started a GVT routine yesterday, so barbell bench and pull ups were the 2 exercises, then did some band work, Pilates ball ab work and skipping to round out my morning fitness routine. Today's sole GVT exercise was barbell overhead press, then did some Yates row, cable work, incline db press, lat raises and bi/tri work. Tomorrow will be legs (squats and RDL's) Then Thursday start repeat of above. OHP day is being used for accessory work not present in the big lifts. Edited April 7, 20205 yr by nigel
April 8, 20205 yr Author Admin Peloton rides are so much harder when you have friends doing the same class at the same time and they are chasing you the whole way.
April 8, 20205 yr That's neat how that works. Awesome to be able to hop on your bike at home and still connect with friends, especially with the current situation.
May 4, 20205 yr Author Admin Been on a pretty hot run here of at least a lift or peloton ride almost everyday.
May 5, 20205 yr Keep at it. Always good to hear of others taking care of themselves. Worked from 7 am - 11 pm yesterday, so it was a day off for me. I try to stick to strength training 6 days/week and try to fit in some sort of conditioning/cardio 3-4 times per week. Did a chest/back day today. All supersets. Incline db press / pendlay rows Barbell floor press / weighted pull ups Incline db flys / cable lat pullover Incline pushups / parallel grip pull downs Edited May 5, 20205 yr by nigel
July 23, 20205 yr Author Admin Been on a 3 week long, averaging 100 push up's a day just to see what it does. A few years ago, for about 2 days, I was able to do 100 in one go. I would like to get back there.
July 24, 20205 yr Keep at it. I'm onto an adjusted summertime routine. Not hitting it as hard. Did a 4 day week this week. Still got in everything I wanted. Just spending a lot of time camping with the family.
July 27, 20205 yr Upper push today. Incline bench Standing barbell OHP Weighted dips Superset: cable fly with standing dumbbell OHP Superset: pike press with push ups Last set of the workout I couldn't make it past 12 push ups I was so exhausted. Felt great.
September 4, 20205 yr Author Admin Since June 29th, still doing 100 push ups a day and 50 squats. All body weight, but it is maintaining.
November 11, 20204 yr Author Admin Still doing the push ups and squats, adding in more Peloton rides and pull ups.
December 26, 20204 yr Christmas was fitness themed for me this year. Got a new flat bench, weight lifting belt, dip/pull up belt, wrist wraps, bar pad (great for doing glute/ham bridges), 3 jugs of pre-work out, 2.2 lbs of creatine, 2 jugs of eaa's. All stocked up again, with some needed additions to the garage gym. Even managed to hit a Christmas arm workout.
February 19, 20214 yr Author Admin I've since adjusted my lifting back to heavy and dialed up the Peloton workouts. That being said, I have still been maintaining the 100/day push ups.
March 1, 20214 yr Daily push ups are killer. A buddy of mine sent me a challenge on the 2nd of January to do daily push ups. For the rest of January I did: 200 push ups/day 200 crunches/day 80 pull ups/day Hitting 6000 push ups in one month felt crazy and awesome. All while still doing my regular workouts as well.
March 24, 20214 yr Author Admin Got heavy congestion, and lost a lot of momentum working out. About 2 weeks worth. Fallen 450 push ups behind, but starting the catch up process.
April 11, 20214 yr Just ordered one of these https://inspirefitness.com/product/ftx-functional-trainer/

April 22, 20214 yr Author Admin Push up deficit is down to 75, while maintaining the 50 squats a day and at least one weights class or peloton ride a day.

Was looking back at this, I think I want to try the pull ups, but that is nuts amount per day.
April 23, 20214 yr I felt quite fatigued by the end of the month doing that. But good at the same time. Definitely was an experience. Glad I did it for sure. No, I don't have any where else to link from Edited April 23, 20214 yr by nigel
April 28, 20214 yr Had one of this delivered today. Tomorrow morning going to get some use out of it for sure. https://iheartsynergee.ca/products/synergee-multi-grip-bar?variant=31314681659494
