Another test, this time was 37 in a row. Feeling a long way off 100 in a row at the moment so will be a lot stricter on the prescribed rest times between sets.

I wrote that on the 2nd Nov so this has slipped a little (or a lot, or totally) with the new job. Back to week four...

Week 4 (again)
Mon: 21, 25, 21, 21 and 32 = 120
Mon: 25, 29, 25, 25, and 34 = 138
Fri: 29, 33, 29, 29 and 42 = 162

A stuttering restart but getting back in the flow. Grand total of 420. Going to be starting work next week so the focus might move back to one hundred pushups rather than spending days outside on the gritstone. Hmmmm...
