The challenge for Friday is push-ups: 3 sets of 5, with as little rest as possible, 2-3 minutes rest, and then one max set. You may be tempted to reduce your range of motion a bit on your max rep set…don’t! You’re getting a real max number of real full-range pushups. It’s up to you where you’re pushing from (that is, whether you push from the floor from a full plank, or from the wall, or from something in between), but whatever your start position, your full range of motion touching the ground.
That’s it for Friday. It’s going to be sunny and beautiful on Saturday morning, so your only other task is doing the little things on Friday night that will help you get out the door and to Brownwood Park on time for our Saturday morning lovefest/workout.
Let us know when you’ve done your challenge. If you want to put in your max rep number, go right ahead. If you’d rather keep that to yourself, all good – but write it down somewhere and hold on to it.
Go get ’em, you lions and tigers and queers!

As any perfect push-ups as you can do in a row without stopping.

Thanks! I’m working hard to get that perfect pushup–so far, I can get nose to floor three times. But watch out…I’m aiming for ten chest-to-floor by this time next year!

Knocked em out! Did 5 *new and improved* full-plank pushups and ALMOST got my chest to the ground and did the rest modified as my fearless trainer Glo suggested for the other 10 without pause. Already feel a little stronger. ❤

Did it. Off a chair in my office for the first part. Still trying to figure out what a perfect push-up means but hey still feels good.
