After a few attempts, I finally succeeded... my training diary entry from August 16 2026
(I also photographed this poor squirrel monkey at the night market in Thailand where I saw the snake pictured yesterday. I look forward to the day when animal cruelty is prosecuted everywhere on the planet and those responsible receive their just punishment.)
Hi Actifitters,
the title refers to close-grip push-ups. After five attempts, I managed to reach the intermediate goal in the training plan. Now I can move on to the next goal. Let's see how long it takes me to achieve that one.
The previous goal according to the training plan (53+):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 12 | 9 | 9 | max (min. 13) | 90 seconds |
My previous attempt (52):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 12 | 9 | 9 | 12 | 90 seconds |
Yesterdays attempt (53):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 12 | 9 | 9 | 13 | 90 seconds |
The next goal according to the training plan (60+):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 13 | 10 | 10 | max (min. 15) | 120 seconds |
Afterwards, I did a few dumbbell exercises for my triceps, chest, and shoulders before treating myself to a large bowl of muesli with banana and a protein shake. Half an hour later, that gave me enough energy to pedal at 150 watts for 90 minutes and work on my base.

While yesterday I weighed 1,000 grams more than I had a week earlier, today it is only 400 grams more. Compared to yesterday, I have actually lost 200 grams. I must say, however, that I was significantly more disciplined about my diet this weekend than I had been on previous weekends.
After covering quite a few kilometers on my bike over the last two days, I’m going to do just a short recovery session today. I’ll also do a few core stability exercises.
