Spartan WOD Day Five

Today's workout ridiculousness, brought to you by Spartan 30 Day Challenge.

"WOD: How many push-ups can you consistently do each minute for one hour?
Easy to start doing 10 a minute…but can your finish? 600?"

I had a little voice in my head telling me that five reps per minute would be far too easy. I'm not doing this to do what I already know I am capable of. I'm doing this challenge to see what I'm not capable of, and doing even more.

So I started out at ten per minute. I made it to 33:00 doing ten reps, but had to cut it down to five. I would get to about five and not be able to make it back up.

My grand total of pushups was 465. A week ago, even a day ago, if someone had told me I would come anywhere near being able to do 500 pushups, I'd have laughed in their face.

I enjoyed this workout. I liked the pain/shakiness that came with each new set, each time the minute popped up on my watch. I'm reminded how masochistic working out can be. Kill yourself. Show yourself something new.
