Week Four is done and the theme to 100 Push Up and 200 Squat Challenge is:
If I Wasn’t So Competitive I Would Have Stopped Because I’m Sick And Tired Of Being So Bleeping Sore
Between running sprints and weighted squats — for the record I forgot to include the weight of the bar when I was figuring out what weights I was using for squats so I’m actually doing 25 pounds and not 20 – I am sore ALL THE TIME. Although now that I’m doing all of this work my husband decided to up the ante and has started doing sprints on a stationary bike which is now making this uber-competitive and while I fully encourage him as his leg heals from his hockey mishap back in December, really I want to crush him.
Sorry honey, I love you but you know it’s true.
No heads were actually crushed in the making of this photo. Also this is not my husband
Week Four: Push Ups:
Day 1: Max 17 for a total of 64
Day 2: Max 20 for a total of 74
Day 3: Max 22 for a total of 82
I also did my Week 4 re-test which was good but not good. Good because I’m now able to do 25 push ups, not good because it means I have to redo Week 4 because according to the program I should be able to do 31 to 35 minimum. But for now I will go against my typical mindset and focus on what I am able to do and not what I’m unable to do because four weeks ago I could only do five push ups. So in terms of improvement – yay me. *rolls eyes*
Week Four: Weighted Squats:
Day 1: Max 20 for a total of 67
Day 2: Max 25 for a total of 80
Day 3: Max 30 for a total of 91
Once I’m done with this session of the 200 squats I’ll be moving on to this.
How was your week?
Healthy competition is the secret to a happy home life. We prefer to duke it out on the Scrabble board because I am NO MATCH for his strength, but I trounced him with 360 points on the weekend, so there.
(My Week 5, Day 2 max today was 40, for a total of 160. It’s a struggle to get through all the sets now.)
Bring it on honey!
You’ve pushed me another inch closer to signing up for next seasons speed skating. Be careful what you wish for!
A good marriage is based on trying to crush each other, no?
Almost. crush + gloat = good marriage
Four years I’ve been writing and you finally decide to leave a comment and it’s to trash talk me? Bring it.

My money’s on you.
You are a machine! Kick that hubby’s butt.
