| | | Sorry mate
You do it against a wall! I think you could do okay. I got it from training in martial arts.
It is not that hard, I will have a crack tonight and report back, I think I might be able to push out 5 or 6. |

morning
30 minute stationary bike
6x25 pushups/6x25 situps
3 way planks.
afternoon
2.5 hours tennis practice
40 minutes wind sprints
tomorrow is weights and a swim. i'm looking forward to the swim. |

| | | Backspace, do you face toward the wall or away from the wall when you do the handstand pushups. |

I read today that muscle endurance is the most important thing in the military. During training they don't make you do lots of pushups in a row, but they do for example 20 pushups every 5 minutes all day. With that in mind i'm going to do less pushups but more sets. |

| | | Face away from the wall, just do a handstand against the wall, get your hands level with each other, and slowly come down, using the wall to brace you.
You have been doing heaps of stuff, so you shoul;d be fine, I was training every day in a bunch of martial arts when I used to do them, just as a bit of fun now and again. |

I was planning on swimming this morning but the old ladies had water aerobics this morning. As you can imagine i wasn't happy..They had all the lane lines down and were only using about 1/10 of the pool. |

| | | Got to respect the elderly mate.
Perhaps the rest of the pool was a "no go zone" due to toxic pollution? |

| | | Hey everyone, had a good workout today. Finally i'm home and about to go to sleep. It's been a loooong day. Two tests this week don't make things any easier. Here was my workout day.
morning
light lift 45 minutes
afternoon
tennis practice 1 hr
7 mile run 54 minutes
ankle rehab
10x20 pushups
10x20 situps
6x6 pullups (wide, closed, under)
Next workout when i do pullups i'm gonna raise it to 6x7. I think i can do it because my last 2 sets are getting easier. The wide grip pullups are the most difficult for me and if i get through those i'm sure i can get all 6 sets. |

| | | Ya, i rest once a week. Sunday i don't do anything at all. It's hard for me to just take a complete day off, i feel guilty really easily. I try to see it the most important day of the week because i know my muscles need the rest.
I did a very slow bike ride today for about 30 minutes. I don't see any harm in that as it's not much more strenuous then walking. I didn't post yesterday so here is what i did.
4 mile run-32 minutes
200 pushups
200 situps
3-way planks
I'm going to do my maxes tomorrow. pushups, situps, and pullups. I'm hoping to see some gains as i haven't maxed in about a month. Even just a 1 rep on my pullups would make me happy.
