Push up/chin up numbers this week haven't been too bad considering the fact that I am trying to get back into the routine of daily workouts again. I would like to get the numbers a little higher on a daily basis -but my right elbow is a bit tender. I think the pain is related to just getting my body used to doing a high number of daily repetitions of body weight exercise. I heard on the radio today that the way Simon Cowell stays in shape is a regimen of 500 push ups a day. I know from experience that I can pound out 500 or so a day- I am going to listen to my body as I drive the volume back up again. No sense blowing out an elbow. If I have to do one arm push up or chin ups everyday- my daily numbers will be even lower (if any at all).

I have been slacking a bit this week on the push ups/ chins. I am determined to bump it up a bit for the rest of the week. My work/travel schedule has been a little hectic-but that is no excuse-you can do push ups anywhere. Thought I should post just to keep myself honest.

I bought the book "The Power of One" off the bodyweight culture site. The book shows you how to work your way up to one armed push ups and one armed chin ups. Seemed like a reasonable goal to be able to do a one armed chin up or a one armed push ups. Right now my practice of the skills mosty looks like flopping around on the floor and falling off a chin up bar.However with practice and persistance I am sure I can do it
