Dec 07, 2019 – Day 7 of 30-day 100 push-ups 🥺🤐🙁

Starting this post with the similar energy from yesterday! Third disappointing day in a row. I took more time to finish the 100 push-ups. Not only that, I could barely compete with my previous number of push-ups in a single rep. Gosh, it felt bad.

One inside story that I would like to share is that whatever bad feeling I had after these push-ups, I made sure I excel at CrossFit workout and finished the 45-minute workout in just 35 minutes, topping the session. It gave me a really good feeling.

Talking about the push-ups, I took 12 seconds more compared to the previous day to finish my 100 push-ups. Also, I could complete only 23 push-ups in the first rep which was not impressive when compared with the previous best of 30 push-ups. 👎🏽
I got beaten up on both the fronts; making the 100 push-ups not a good highlight of the day for me. 😞

The learnings are difficult, but very important for the lesson to learn.

1. 🔴 Took 12 seconds more to finish the 100 push-ups. 👀 👎🏽
2. 🔴 Could not beat the last best record of 30 push-ups in a single rep. 😾 🥱
3. 🔴 I hurried through the 100 push-ups as I was getting late for CrossFit; I should have taken my time and given more dedicated effort.
4. 🔴 Week 2 has a lot in store and I should focus on improving on daily basis, instead of focusing on the final result.

The third disappointing day in a row for me, moreover, I ended the first week on a low note – which I did not want to do. As mentioned earlier, I should not have rushed through my push-ups. Well, a lesson well learnt – I will remember it the next time!

As we have reached the end of the first week, I would like to give you the progress I have made over this week, and you be the judge of it.

• Maximum Push-ups per repetition

I must say, when you look at the big picture, you see I have made *some* progress when it comes to maximum number of push-ups per rep.
The first day, I could barely complete 10 push-ups in the first rep; whereas, by the last day of the week, I more than doubled this number to 23. I hit a high of 30 unbroken push-ups during this week. That is my personal best till now.

Here’s the graph giving you a better idea of the last seven days of Week-1.

• Total time taken for 100 push-ups

This is the area where I have worked harder. I started the week with 08:25 for the 100 push-ups and by the weekend, I cut down a couple minutes and took only 06:30 for those push-ups. I can consider this as a *small* victory with more improvements to come.

Here’s the graph to showcase this progress.

Week 2, here I come.

Enjoy this gif till then! Bye Bye!
