I was pumped-up for my push-ups looking at the results from yesterday. One week into the routine, I had no problems getting up from the bed and start stretching for these push-ups. I was like “I am the BOSS” & “Let’s do this”!
I know it sounds corny; but, that’s just the way I felt.
The biggest surprise for today’s push-ups was the timing. I know I was aiming to cut down my time by some margin; but, when I saw that I did cut down an entire minute from the total time, I was all over the moon. I had struggled with cutting time down in the first week and was glad to find out I finally did what I wanted to using the learnings from the previous sessions. It bolsters my belief in “Everything is possible with the right technique!”. Who is ready for another challenge? Answer- This guy 🙋🏽♂️😎
Talking about improving the maximum number of push-ups in a rep, I improved in that area by three more push-ups and tied for the previous best of 30. I was convincingly happy with this performance 💪🏽 and felt like a bonus when I was trying for cutting down the time.
I greatly learnt the importance of proper technique and breathing pattern during today’s session and found out 🙇🏽-
- 🟢 I should inhale a big breath before starting off with the push-ups.
- 🟢 I should push myself a little harder when I think that I am done with the push-ups, getting those 1-2 extra push-ups in a rep.
- 🟢 keep improving like this and you will see some more great results! 😎
You can see the difference in attitude while I attack these push-ups. The Time-Lapse from December 09, 2019 is below.

A minute improvement in the total time taken and increasing the maximum number of push-ups in a rep by 3 makes me wanna say – “BRING IT ONNN!” 🤜🏽
All right then, see you until next time!
