Mondays are going to kill me.
I still can't do the pull-ups. I get in position and the exhale and constrict every muscle I can think of and nothing happens. I don't move. Totally frustrating.
The push-ups are okay, but I know I'm not getting down as far as I should be (i.e. as Patrick is in the pictures).
The creep makes me think I am going to bust something in my knees.
Hopefully Tuesday will be better.
That is a very busy Monday! Good luck with those. I honestly haven't tried a real pullup yet, but I'm betting I'll have the same issue when I get around to it. I'm definitely the same way with the pushups. I get myself down to the ground, then push up with all my might and don't move an inch.
ReplyDeleteAh well. Go Team Running Rats!
Hanging from a pull-up bar going nowhere doesn't change, even on day 72! It's the TRYING and FAILING that counts though. Remember that: successfully and easily doing the exercise doesn't do anything for you. Struggling and feeling the burn and failing is what works. So: Pull, kick your feet, breathe deep and struggle and fight and try try TRY until you can't move and your arms and shoulders are on FIRE! Then you've really done something. ;)
ReplyDeleteKeep coming back to them.
ReplyDeleteIt took me 6 months to do my first pull up.
SIX MONTHS!
