Day 47

Wondering how everyone else is doing with chest-dips and push-ups.  I am able to do 4 sets of 6 chest-dips and I really struggle to finish the last two reps which is good.  Then, I do the push-ups and in order to do all 4 sets I can do only 8 of the 15 push-ups per set.  I know I am getting a good workout since I am really feeling the burn on the push-ups when I finish a set.  I just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same or if someone out there is able to complete all 15 of the push-ups per set.  I do everything sequentially so I am sure that the push-ups are harder after doing the chest-dips.

On another note, I am enjoying the new way we are doing our jumps.  I am finding that in many cases I can go a full two minutes without the rope getting caught in my feet.  This usually means somewhere around 275 jumps.  When the rope gets caught and I have to start over I usually add a few additional seconds on to make up for the time I miss when the rope gets caught and I do have to start over.  

Br,

  1. Yeah for the burn ---- you are doing it right then. Think what it's doing to your muscles --- shredding it up so you can build more. I did the maintenance chest workout today and I STILL have a hard time -- it's better to do what you can in the right form and feel a DEEP burn then finish the set sloppily and halfway. Does that make sense?
