I'm back to report on my recent physical achievements. I just tried to shoot for week 5 after stretching the week 4 work-out over 2 weeks. Bad Idea. I put both words in capitalization to show the fact that that statement is not just two words in a poly-worded blog, but it is the title to one of the chapters of my life.
I came back to the dorm after getting pumped up about my physical prowess after doin some treadmill intensity with the ole gf (which stands for gorilla fighter) I burst into my dorm hot and ready (like the little caesar's pizzas) for a pexplosion. I state my intentions with an urgent fervency to the sole occupant of the room. My long-time compatriot and roomie, Joel Land, turns his torso towards me to bring the full force of his meaningful look of deep introspection to bear upon my frenetic presence. He tilts his chin slightly upward and crosses one leg over the other as he calmly informs me that he has decided to repeat the week 4 exercise, but in a more consistent manner so as to power into week 5 with more confidence and muscle mass than ever before. In my misplaced hubris I scoff inwardly at his weak mind and timid ambitions. I pump out the first couple sets with an unprecedented fervor, confident that I will be an example to my weak-willed comrade. After the third set a solid wall of physical exhaustion hit me like a prize fighter's roundhouse fist to an infant's soft, unprotected head. I feel the horse named charlie begin to seize my bicep with an iron grip. My pecs are swollen and difficult to move in the usual full range of motion, yet I am undeterred in my youthful exuberance. I complete my fourth set and begin to realize my mistake...I didn't listen to my personal little buddha of unending wisdom, that is aka'd as Joel Land. So, I sat down and began to write this blog so as to procrastinate from my final max set of 35. This experience has only served to strengthen my resolve and increase my desire for the coveted goal of 100 push-ups in one glorious set.
In conclusion, I would like to exhort and edify all of you who have taken up this most worthy cause to keep on keepin on. I am more fixated than ever on my goal to become one of the small percentage of homo sapiens that have at one point in their life completed 100 consecutive push ups. I am now going to attempt my final max set of 35 now that I am fully rested and adequately inspired.
Onward to victory! Tally-hoooooooo!!!!
