Push Up City

No, really. I've done more push ups in the past three weeks than probably the entirety of my life leading up to now. On the down side, I haven 't been able to lift my arms high enough to comb my hair lately . On the up side, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to physically relocate peoples' houses in a few months. Let me give you a week in the life:

Monday: 2x20
Tuesday: 4x20 and 2x15
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: 30x regular push ups + 30x double push ups (so really 60) + 30x staggered hands push ups + 30x rotational push ups = 120 (or 150 technically)
Friday: 2x20
Saturday: 4x30
Sunday: 9x10
GRAND TOTAL: 520!



In general, training has been going great so far. My legs still feel a bit weak and out of shape compared to how they typically feel during pre-season, which is to be expected after taking nearly 6 months off of training. My upper body feels great, and my posture has improved dramatically.

I lift in the mornings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, then have afternoon practices on those days. They usually consist of circuits, sprints, core, etc. There are also Saturday morning workouts and Sunday pool workouts. I feel wicked strong!

With the exception of the pool workouts I've REALLY been enjoying everything that I've been doing. I long ago accepted the fact that I will never enjoy pool workouts. I sink like a rock and am not the greatest swimmer in general (in camp I always cheated to pass my swimming tests), so my weekly bout of spitting out water and gasping for air is usually pretty traumatizing. Who knows, maybe I'll eventually learn to stay afloat in my time at K-State.
