Haha! Miss September Challenge DID NOT miss yesterday, just totally failed to post.

Week 3, Day 1 of the hundred pushups program and Week 6, Day 1 of the two hundred situps program. Again, with counterposes: Dhanurasana and Urdhva Dhanurasana. Max today 12 pushups (though I finished strong with 11 instead of stopping at 9) and 100 situps.

I decided to go back and redo Week 3 on the pushups. I considered redoing Week 2 and did not, but I still have the feeling that I am struggling with this, and the program encourages you to repeat weeks if you don't feel ready to go on.

I have been excited that I have not been hurting my elbows doing this, though it is possible that it is causing strain in my forearms. Must remember to do counterposes.

I did a resource linkspam on pull-ups (and push-ups) a while back, in case it's of any interest:

Though in my case, my secret pull-up weapon is rock climbing; while I recommend it to everyone, I wouldn't recommend taking it up just to improve one's pull-ups *g*.
