I had a crack at the 200 sit-ups as I'm better at them than push ups. I've been doing 100 for the last couple of weeks as a warm up prior to lifting. For the initial test, I knocked out 300 straight and was barely sweating until the last 20. Then I got bored. I don't think I'll need to follow that program!
However....
Push ups are a different story. I can barely crack 16 out before failure. I am going to follow the program!
I have no idea why my abs are so much stronger than my arms. I always close my eyes when doing sit ups, that might help with the presses. Focus on the music and working the muscles.
I also realised when doing squats the other day that deliberately breathing deeper than my body feels it needs to give me a boost.
Slightly OT but...
Went to the same house party last night as I did last NYE. Three people said I'd lost a shag load of weight (thanks Keto) Fast forward to this morning and I'm hung over and dehydrated to fuck, veins popping out all over the shop. Caught sight of myself in the mirror- I am genuinely making progress! The visual effect was amplified by the lack of fluids, but it's an awesome feeling to realise how much your body has developed.
