I hate upper body strength conditioning. Probably the one thing that I feel I have no idea what I'm doing and feel absolutely silly doing it. I hate doing free weights at the gym.
Even something as simple as the push up frustrates me. How could something so simple give me so much trouble?
Hearkening back to my college and fraternity days, one of the hazing methods was forced push ups for doing things wrong. I know, I know...hazing is an evil, evil thing...but I will tell you that I was never in such good shape as I was at that point in my life. My arm muscles looked pretty damn good!
So my personal challenge involves something of a forced push up. I will challenge myself to do 150 push ups this week (Monday through Sunday). That is 30 push ups for 5 days this week with 2 days of rest... I do not have to do 30 in one sitting or even 30 in one day (but I should a minimum of 10 in one sitting). The goal is to knock out 150 whatever it takes...
This may sound weak to some of you, but it's a start towards rehabbing my weak upper body...

It doesn't seem like a weak challenge to me, it seems like a great challenge!
You can do it!! :)
BTW, are you going to update your photo (or add a new one), so we can see the effect of your weight loss, so far??
I've actually been meaning to do one of those "after" pictures with a sideshot of me holding out the waist of my much larger pants to show how far I've come...
Cheesey I know...need to make it happen...
