Perfect Push-up Experiment Day 9

Day 9 was yesterday. Im trying to keep the intensity going. I get home from my farm work trip tomorrow and will be able to see if 10 days if perfect push-ups have done any work. That should get me motivated. Tip: I've found that putting 5 min of break time in between each set works really well. Basically that give you a 30 min workout. Being at 120 pushups feels pretty good. Can't wait to get to 200. Keep it lean!

Which I think was a mistake, I should have spaced my sets out more throughout the day. By the time I finished the final set my arms were killing me! I did my regular and wide sets back to back. Each set being done in 2 mins. I took a 30 minute break to watch stargate: universe (yeah, that's right) and then finished up. I can tell you that th...
