Day 72 - Split bamboo

The time had come. Jumps, chest dips, elevated push ups, butterflies, curls, single arm curls, leg lifts, & then, 4 sets of 90 second curls. 1st set. No problem. 2nd set. Tough. 3rd set. I drew inspiration from my fellow Peakers and Patrick. I breathed deeply, I raised my back for second, I pictured someone wailing on my back with a piece of split bamboo, I screamed, I yelped, sweat pouring from my brow, and bam, 1 minute and 30 seconds in the bag. OK, 4th set. Pull out all the same tricks and during the last 30 seconds, I gritted though my teeth, "Don't give up now"! And I didn't. It's a serious head rush standing up after doing 4 minutes of planks. A wonderful day in PCP land.

Week 11 pictures up.

    The more it hurts, the better it is, eh.

  3. The weight drops on its own schedule. It's hard to predict. The bamboo thing worked didn't it!? I'd love to try it for real one day.
