Dave W Jul 2020 10:20pm, 2 Jul 2020 1,985 posts	0 Dave W Just tipped over 20000 today. Very pleased with that. Target for the year, 50k. Doable. I think so.
chunkywizard Jul 2020 10:21pm, 2 Jul 2020 8,845 posts	0 chunkywizard You are half way through so that’s a bit of an acceleration isn’t it? I think I’m aiming for 20K total.
Dave W Jul 2020 10:28pm, 2 Jul 2020 1,987 posts	0 Dave W Yep, CW, it is. But it's only about 170 a day, and on good days i'm doing close to 300. If I fall a bit short, not really bothered. Probably be more p/ups than I've done in the rest of my life put together anyway.

chunkywizard Jul 2020 11:59am, 3 Jul 2020 8,858 posts	0 chunkywizard had a revelation today. I've found it is easier doing sets closer together! Before I was leaving 30-1h between sets, but I always found my shoulders were a bit stiff at the start. Today I've been doing 2x 25sets with each 25 10 mins apart and it's way easier. I've done 150 already
Eynsham Red Jul 2020 12:02pm, 3 Jul 2020 6,140 posts	0 Eynsham Red I find that my second set is easier than than the first if I do them within 30 mins. I guess it must be something to do with the muscles getting fired up?
Muttley Jul 2020 8:03pm, 3 Jul 2020 738 posts	0 Muttley Finishing the week with a flourish and 200 for the day, in 10 sets of 20 whenever I had a free moment. I take the weekend off so next efforts are on Monday.
Muttley Jul 2020 8:05pm, 3 Jul 2020 739 posts	0 Muttley Drat and double drat ... if I'd done 11 more I'd have nosed ahead of CW. Tempted, or I might fix myself a G&T instead.
