My pushup routine has improved a lot.  I am seeing it as being better than bench press.  And I think my shoulder is better for it.

I managed 120 yesterday, which is not bad for an old man.

Not at one time.  We have two sets of stairs in the condo so I get some up and down on them.  I bought some ribs at Kroger, they were $1.69 a pound, plan to do the hot pot thing.

Ribs and wings both have gotten insanely expensive "out".  I can remember quarter wings at places maybe 15 years ago.

well, that's crazy

just filled another growler

Maybe I'll join you and we can watch everyone else work out

120 puish ups huh?I've got a tricky shoulder - pinched nerve - but you think it helped yours?

My shoulder is fried from a game I pitched as a junior in HS, first game of the year and I was supposed to be the honcho on the mound.  I over threw and the next day I couldn't raise my arm at all.  I never had it looked at, back then you just had a "sore arm".  Mine was much worse.  On rare occasion, I could somehow throw about like I used to, but it happened sporadically and usually after doing a lot of pushups, so I'm trying it again.  My shoulder has gotten annoying in routine life of late.  It could just be partially healing from playing baseball.

I usually do three sets 45-35-35, sometimes 45-45-30.  They probably aren't the best pushups in the world but I keep my back straight and I think my back is benefiting as well.  I'm going to move to 4 sets today, I'm getting better at it.

I can barely throw a baseball today though I found an arm angle which is at about 30° that works with less pain.  I've never thrown from that position before and it feels weird, but if I drop down more or go more overhead it hurts pretty bad even with a lot of NSAIDs.

It was interesting seeing all the 40 year olds at Fantasy Camp go down on Day 2 with leg problems while I was still "running".  My legs held up quite well this past time.  The rookies were blowing out quads and calves and groins and hammies right and left.

When I started a few weeks ago, 20 was about all I could do without really cheating.  

It's like anything, but at my age it takes a lot longer to recover.  

In other good news, my piano playing is coming back albeit slowly.  My hand strength is much better.  I can play some of the easier pieces well enough that they sound like they should with some mistakes.  The harder pieces still look really hard.  I'm going after them slowly.

Yeah, that makes sense, but I prefer drum sticks over wings anyway.

I went to PT and still have these different colored rubber bands(for resistance indicating resistance strength)Truth be told I've gotten lax and should prolly start up again

My i s c &  a aggie PT wife says-- "Do your freaking exercises, or suffer the consequences."

So there you have it.

My ankles and shoulder were giving me trouble so I took a day off from running or the gym. Think I'll run today, maybe.
