Today’s challenge completed in 25 minutes 1 second, beating yesterday’s time by almost 4 minutes! In 4 days, I’ve decreased my time by 37%, cutting 14 minutes 23 off a time I originally thought was pretty good.
The slowest exercise for me is still the floor wipers, but they weren’t as difficult today as yesterday. I also got through pushups a lot quicker today than before, but the big change was in the initial pullups. I got through them much faster, even though my shoulders were aching. I almost managed to get through all the deadlifts without a break. Got to 40 reps, but failure set in big time and I had to stop. It’s a good feeling to be getting stronger & faster at this challenge.
This is what I'm aiming for. How about you?
The strangest thing seems to be happening. I thought by today, half way through the challenge, that I’d be so sore that I’d go slower. But the opposite is happening. Four days in and I only have mild DOMS. It’s fantastic. Each day is slightly easier than the day before (as you can see by the times), even though I’m hitting the exercise just as hard. I’ve also noticed I’m getting fitter, recovering quicker from being out of breath.
The muscle pump you get from doing this workout is amazing. Sure you could do other, less intense exercises to get a pump, but it’s just such a great feeling seeing yourself grow in such a short time.
I’ll take a break over Easter, but I’m already looking for my next one week challenge
