Almost three weeks since I put myself on medical leave. Like the variety of niggling physical maladies that I propagate through denial I suspect the shoulder thing will never completely disappear but forever ebb and flow, like nausea-inducing news of certain useless celebrities who refuse to go away because we just can't seem to ignore them.
Until I heard that mysterious snapping sound in my arm on the morning of March 4th I was pushing myself, slowly but surely, to increase the rep count and intensify the exertion. Now I am shifting gears, hoping shorter sets will allow my shoulder ('rotator cuff' says the majority) to heal even as I continue my pursuit of 100,000.
This is the deal I am striking with my body and my mind. I'd love to hear some similar stories from others.
Ten sets of 25 yesterday = 250 on the day.
Spring has sprung. Life moves on. It's beautiful today in New Jersey.
Brendan Tumpey of Brick, NJ has picked up my slack and is pursuing his goal of 75,000 pushups in 2015. Any other takers?
