Galloway style it is....

After many false starts yesterday, and I had to Google the front leaning rest position, but your 10 and 10 ratio was just what it took. YAY! I may never lift my arms again, and I was going to do video but didn't think I'd pull it off so didn't get the camera out... oh well. Did you order your shirt?

100 Pushups/ Galloway Style!

Well I tried to do my pushup test Sun and on my 50th one my son jumped on my back and I just couldn't do it.

Mon. Tried to do it again and stopped @ 50. I think 50 is just a mental block so I woke up this Tues morning and vowed to do the 100 pushups- Galloway style.

After every 10 pushups I took a rest. I didn't get out of position but I just rested in the front leaning rest position(approved by the Army! LOL) I felt like I could have done more and then rested after my first 10 but I decided to stick with my ratio- 10 pushups, rest 10 seconds 10 more.

Today I finally completed 100!

Day 2

Surprisingly......easy.

All of a sudden I just wasn't struggling...

Only took a few weeks to get to this point...Can't wait for Day 3 and the TEST! I think I'll buy the shirt that I did the hundred before my test for incentive.

Week 6

Well, I didn't do the test. I have been following column 3 throughout and thought I'd stick with it.

On a side note... Galloway confirmed for Mon March 16th in Hinsdale. YAY!

Test!

Completed week 5 progress test. Did 50...consecutively in good form...did the rest in not so good form.(I sware I tried!) Perhaps I shouldn't have tried to do any hand balancing beforehand. I am going to blame that on my weak performance on the test. I wore myself out.

That's my test and i am sticking too it. Regardless..I passed enough to advance to week 6.

Week 6 -tomorrow! Yeah!
