I failed about the same week you did - and I just got sick of having it take up so much time in my workout. <br /><br />However, I was so happy with my accomplishment I've made pushups part of my strength training and do them about once a week. I can knock out about 50 now, which makes me happy.<br /><br />I think traveling pushups are my new favorite arse-kicking exercise though...Quixhttp://www.adjustedreality.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-90434991791196856152009-11-06T14:53:06.557-05:002009-11-06T14:53:06.557-05:00Oh, maybe I need to try again, too.
