I reckon you need to mix up the work out abit. You are working like a machine, don't get me wrong.

But your muscles will adjust very quickly. Do you try varying the types of push-ups you do?

Try wide spread push-ups, then mix it up by making a triangle with your thumbs and (those fingers next to your thumbs).

Try doing some on you knuckles also.

Mixing it up is really good. Also rest is really important.

thanks for the advice Backspace, i will start doing that. As for today, more machine working out as usual..

Hey everyone, forgot to post again yesterday. Been really busy here and i'm trying to cram as much working out time as possible into my day.

yesterday morning workout:

50 y hypoxic swims 2 stroke/4 stroke/6 stroke/6 stroke/4 stroke/2 stroke/ 2 stroke
5 x100 y
100 y cooldown

lots of annoying abs, leg levers, flutter kicks, etc

i meant to do a couple of underwater 50 y swims, but the hypoxic exercises really kicked my a$$. I should get to it today or tomrorow though. When doing something like underwater 50's i think it's important to keep my confidence up. I know i can do it, it's just not fun.
