I like surprises... 12 months ago

Last night I did 50 push ups, figuring I had a really long way to go to benching my weight. Except I just checked and found out that my push ups are 70% of my total weight. I don’t think I have anything to worry about.

My triceps are going biserk and my pecs are sore at all heads. It’s a great feeling when I bump up the weight. I’m at approximately 85%, if the calculations are correct. I wouldn’t put my faith in them, though. I used to be able to do this on machines a lifetime ago. I’ve since come to despise machines; they lie. All those little stabilizer muscles go unworked. I know I’ll complete this by the due date, although I’ve still got a little ways to go. The tendons in my shoulders are touchy, so I don’t do low reps and sets. Which means it’ll take me a little longer as I’d rather not rip my tendons.
