Not even sure I'd catch you then, FF.

TBR, UD, challenge accepted. No need to cry, UD, but watch your six, cos I'm coming for you.. :-)

Finished just outside the medals last year, so I'm after at least a bronze, and hopefully a silver.

With all this talk of number of press ups, I’ve actually reduced the amount I’m doing. Down to 7 sets of 10 at the moment, 3 times per week. I actually feel better and stronger for doing less.

It is alongside weight training 3,times per week as well, which is helping.
Ultimately I’ll see if there’s been any point when the climbing wall reopens.

Dave A that's not surprising though, it's just like a training programme ahead of a race, as the volume comes off you feel fresher and (hopefully) run quicker. Periodisation if you like.

Whatever the reason it appears to be working for me. I’m not planning a massive increase in volume, unless we end up in one of those nice lockdowns again and I get bored.

I've been doing quite well recently, 4-5 times a week and usually 30 or more in sets of 5. However, I woke up in the middle of the night with a raging shoulder which has still not settled. I think it was from the way I slept rather than the pushups but it really hurts :(

A couple of voltaren and rest has restored by shoulder to about 90% but I'll still give it a couple more days.
