OK, it took me about a year and a half. And they weren't pretty. But I finished it.
Sort of anti-climactic somehow after all this time. But kinda cool to have gotten there.
2 questions:
- do I bother maintaining this level? (once a week refresher?)
- what should I work on next? (chin ups probably)

Congratulations! I have been following your posts on pushups for a while. Your persistence is very inspiring.
I haven't been able to gather courage to consider doing this myself yet. May be I will one of these days...
Congrats again. :)
Thanks. You should definitely give it a shot. I don't know if there is some profound insight to be gained from this process. But it is a little reassuring to know that something that seemed impossible will yield to discipline and determination.
Of course it is pretty humbling to think how far over the original schedule of 6 weeks I went.... :)
I guess the insight is that reassurance you speak of and a sort of belief in yourself. And thanks for the encouragement.
