100 Pushups

[RogueLeader]

I'll work on it.  I dunno if it's too late for this, but it'll help out my APFT.  My last, I did 52 in 2 min.  My situps did worse though. 

[TEAM SURGE]

I think my daily workout owns all yours! haha!

Try wrestling practice then lifting weights every day!

6:55 AM Before School
Body Building Class
3:05 PM After School

Wait til age catches ya.  Most of us get lazy well before 40.  I am 38 years old with a knee surgery under my belt and still at it.  For this we are tracking the pushups.  When I start talking Hindu Squats and Burpees people usually run in fear.

I dont age sorry.

Tell me all about boot camp once you have it under your belt.  Like I said, lets see what people can do after 35.  Most of us have jobs, kids and don't have time or facilities at our disposal where training IS lifestyle.  Keep the focus you have.  It will help when you are older and more easily injured with slower recovery.

If youll notice, nowhere in there did I mention "Boot Camp".  What CS said is true.  Your in High School....enjoy it.   You get paid to eat sleep and work out!  Come back when your 35 and tell us about your workout routine.

I hear ya Robert.  I turn 39 in July and have to really work to do anything after dinner, time with the wife and kids.  I am just making myself do it.  I am also doing 65 Hindu Squats to rehab a knee with issues.  I try to fence at least two days a week too.  My doctor told me I am an "elderly athlete." That is what they call us who are still active at our age.

[Flying Pig]

I hear that.  My dose of reality came when I got denied for the Army WOC Aviator program at age 33 for being to old!  I now swim about 3000 yard twice per week, but I have to get up at 0400 to do it and make it to work on time.  Although, I attribute being active at a young age for so many years in the military from 17-25, then as a cop who gave a darn about PT, to the fact that I am still in good shape now.  I can imagine someone who is in a stationary type job it must be a killer to stay in shape.

So, back to TEAM SURGE.....keep it up.  I applaud anyone in high school who is committed to training the way you are vs. sitting in front of the X-Box.  I think your type are becoming a rare breed these days.   It will be much easier when your older to stay in shape vs. get into shape.

What are your plans for the after life?  After H.S. that is

I was originally telling myself "I will give this a try", after thinking about it, "try" is the wrong attitude to have about this, I AM GOING TO DO THIS.  I am in pitiful shape exercise wise, my initial test only verifies this, I only managed to eek out 9, yes count them, 9 push ups.  So I guess that I start with the middle column on week one.

results:
Week 1 Day 1 Column 2
set 1: 6/6
set 2: 6/6
set 3: 4/4
set 4: 4/4
set 5: 5/max (at least 5)
Total: 34 including the initial test.

Heh, after sitting here typing this, I have noticed that my upper arms and shoulders are quivering like a big bowl of jello
Oh and by the way, my 8 year old son just embarrassed the crap out of me, he just popped off 50, the little snot and that is after a 2 and 1/2 hour karate conditioning class.  :clap: (secretly: dad's chest is swelling with pride)

Cool beans.  I have other workouts I do too but this has helped a couple of my buddies.  I really slacked off after my re-deployment in 06. 

It can be rought, I know.  10 years ago when I came back from a 9 month deployment to Bosnia (Army Infantry), I fell into a depression and in one year put on 30 lbs.  After almost dying on the APFT (still passed but had to be taped), I made a huge change.  A year later, exactly one year, I took the APFT and scored an even 300, plus I lost those 30+ lbs.

Now, my excuse are young children.  But I still PT 5 days a week, but it's a bigger challenge to keep the love handles off so I just accept them. 

I went to Bosnia ten years ago as part of TF Eagle

[Hobbsh1]

Pitiful night,
Week 1 day 2 col. 2
6/6
8/8
6/6 knees
6/6 knees
6/Max (min 7) I forced myself to do correct pushups on this set.

Man does my chest hurt.  I won't give up though, even if I have to do week 1 100 times  . I just hope that my 200 situps goes better for my day 2 tomorrow.

End of week 4 test
