I got to the end of week 4 and I was seriously stuggling
as well as losing motivation, so I've gone back to week 3 again and started doing them slower, which is much harder, but probably better for me. The mrs is very impressed with my arms so far.

Is push-ups code
for wanking?

yeah, we're doing a programme that eventually allows you to crack off 100 times in a row
without stopping

I imagine he wishes this were true.
Or maybe it is and that's why he complains he's so busy at work.

good stuff
I imagine I'll get to a similar point. finding it hard to fit them in, because I end up aching every other day from swimming and surfing anyway, so the last thing you want to do is about 50 press ups

Yeah, I was really motivated at first
now I keep forgetting until I've had my dinner, and then I really don't want to do them so I end up doing them the next morning.

I can now do three whole chin ups though, which is three more than I used to be able to do.

I've never really found anything that looks robust enough to take my weight for chin ups
although I weigh less now and am stronger, so maybe it's worth a go.

my best achievement recently has been swimming about 2/3 of the pool underwater.

This thing here
is your friend.

Although if you have soft plasterboard walls it won't work.

my house was built when people knew how to build them
and so is entirely made from bricks which is nice. I saw an advert for those the other day. does it not look like it might rip your doorframe off?

I thought that
but it does work, I weigh 15 stone and a bit and the only thing it has done is damamged the plaster slightly above the doorframe.

I'm going to get my mad DIY SkillZ on it and put two small pieces of steel plate in order to spread the pressure over a larger area.

that's cool
I've managed to get down to a svelte 14st, which I consider isn't too bad for someone 6'2 and who is actually big-boned (in more ways than one. laydeez)
