Marksman Competes in Pushups. Photo by courtesy. June 19, 2008

Pfc. Vincent Hancock (right), who has qualified to compete in Skeet at the Olympic Games in Beijing, competes here in a push-up contest with a member of the public in Times Square, New York.

I see Vincent, in the yellow shirt, uses the same push up form I do. After Monday's killer workout, this was a walk in the park! I'm not ready for US Army boot camp, but I'm definitely ready for lunch! I followed-up my pushups with Body Pump # 60. I'm excited about Friday's workout to see what I'll be able to do.

Here is my new progress chart. I added the date of each workout and my max pulse rate during the workout. I reached my max pulse of 122 bpm during the final set of 40 pushups. My pulse mounted steadily from 99, 100, 102, 105, 122 for the five sets.
