February Recap

After last Friday's workout, I weighed 348 pounds, the same as the previous week's end but down 18 pounds since January. Given that I missed a workout due to work travel and didn't eat particularly well on the road, no gain or loss is about what I'd expect.

You can see the results from my February 25 post-test below. SIU had an off week this week, but Ryan and Danny – from the Whitfield camp – are holding a mini-camp so we don't get fat and lazy. Next week regular camp starts up again so I'm sure we'll pre-test, and I'd guess we'll be outside and swap the mile for the 55s.

Exercise	January 31	Goal	February 25	% Change
Fifty-Fives (55s)	11.5	13	13	+13%
Regular Pushups	35	40	35	0%
Assisted Pushups	10	10	5	-50%
Regular Dips	23	30	19	-17%
Assisted Dips	10	10	8	-20%
Sit Ups (in 1 minute)	17	20	26	+53%
Planks to failure	1:04	1:15	1:50	+72%

While I didn't meet my goals for strength, I blew my fitness goals out of the water. My endurance and core strength skyrocketed. Man, I was rocking it to get 13 laps on the 55s. I am not sure how much more room those have to go up before I plateau due to just not being fast enough. I had a sneaking suspicion that sit-ups and planks were going to go up, but I didn't expect that much! Feels great seeing tangible results like that.

I'll have a post after tomorrow's workout about the mini-camp's agony and ecstasy. Agony seems to be winning at the moment.
