Push yourself: 360 an hour

Today I decided to just push myself. I have dealt with several injuries over the past several months but today I was like “fuck it”

And so I decided to see how many pushups I could do in an hour.

It seemed like shit and pain.

I was excited.

I was motivated and driven.

I started out with 20 on the first set. Decided to do 8 every minute for as long as I can. With around 40 minutes left I had hit 80. I was feeling very confident. Around the 30 minute mark I lowered my pace to 6 pushups a minute. And then with 15 minutes left I lowered it to 5.

It was exhausting. Could I push myself any further? With 11 minutes left I had hit my goal of 330 pushups. I could just quit couldn’t I? I hit my goal…

NOPE. Fuck that dude. I am not leaving myself to scratch only my goals. I will go beyond. And that is what I did.

With pure pain and no motivation I pushed through. Rep after rep. It felt like an eternity. I was pushing literally as hard as I can. Breaking down my form just to get the reps out.

And what did I end up with…?

364!!!! I had beat my goal by 34 reps when it did not seem possible at all!

I am truly proud of myself and amazed with what I have done.

I encourage you to do something challenging. Do something random that seems really hard. See how fast you can run a mile (this shit HURTS)

Make yourself proud
