Aching start to October

Wow, the first 3 sets were ok, but the fourth set started a headache that increased big time after the fifth and final set. I may have developed a minor case of HFPD (Headaches From Push-ups Disease). I hope this won't set me back much, but my head still feels a little weird, even as I write this blog, despite completing my pushups about 45 minutes ago. It could be that i'm not breathing enough during my sets or maybe i'm just not getting enough water or i'm doing the workout too late at night. Anyway, i'm still keeping on keeping on, rocking out to Pillar, Switchfoot, and Circa Survive.

25, 29, 25, 25, some rest, 37 max, then for some odd reason i did 10 more. don't know why i did that. Total pushups (in 20 min.) = 151

It was a Doozy, with a capital D!

Achingly,
A-Pecs

You're probably flexing your diaphragm and allowing all of that pressure to go to your head. This would result in pressure and blood pooling in the head, therefore causing pain. Just breathing would release that pressure.

also, the way you write in your blogs sounds like Ron Burgundy in his Cubicle. "One thousand and five, One thousand and six. I don't know if you heard me counting, but I did well over a thousand reps."

It hardly even sounds like you do the workout, AND I QUOTE:

"37 max, then for some odd reason i did 10 more. don't know why i did that. Total pushups (in 20 min.) = 151"

This workout is entirely too easy for you. I just hope your clothes still fit.

whatever, i'm just trying to complete what is scheduled and i felt like doing 10 more, because it felt like i didn't get enough of the burn as i wanted to + i'm no hero, i'm just a regular guy who is doing pushups, just like you, Joel "Pillar of Earth" Land.
