Push-up improvement... my training diary entry from September 9 2026
(Here is another photo from Prague. The streets, with their colorful houses, were always a real eye-catcher.)
Hi Actifitters,
even though a full nine days had passed since my last push-up session, I managed to improve my performance slightly. Then again, perhaps that extended break is precisely the reason things went surprisingly well yesterday. I can't say for sure. In any case, here are the stats from the push-up workout:
The next goal according to the training plan (72+):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 13 | 13 | max (min. 17) | 60 seconds |
My previous attempt (50):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 60 seconds |
Yesterdays attempt ():
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 10 | 7 | 7 | 60 seconds |
While I am still a long way off from reaching the next interim goal, yesterday's training session really motivated me to stick with it.
To round off the training session, in addition to lateral raises, triceps extensions, and shoulder presses, I also completed an hour on the indoor bike at 180 watts.

Mission 80 (Day 73 = 85.4 / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 / Total loss = 4.6 kg)
Unlike the day before yesterday, I exercised a bit of discipline again yesterday and paid attention to my diet. But then evening came, and my wife brought chocolate home. Unfortunately, it didn't survive, so I'm happy today that I can still report a small weight loss.
Since I have an appointment at the office again today, I have limited time for a workout. I will definitely focus on pull-up training and, if possible, also fit in a session on the exercise bike.
