Maybe you haven't' read any of my past posts which is not much when I've said that Truly my true motivation for all of this is my son who will be 3 on Sept. 4th. I want to be healthy and strong when were in the back yard playing football for 2 hours. I realize that we need that break at times when we just want our kid to go outside and play but I'm going to be that Dad that says "Son, lets you and I go outside and play!". I know how it was with my dad and sorry, aint gonna happen with me. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a difference it is between 25 and 34. Yikes!

Thanks for all the Kudos everyone. I may not post much but I'll certainly keep you up to date with my progress.

I had a guy come into my work yesterday who was ripped but not bodybuilding huge and found out he is a personal trainer. Lets just say that I got some great advice about push ups.

He said the best way to train for push ups and the core body strength it takes to do them is these two things

1. Holds. Simply holding your self in the the top position for 30 seconds to a minute at a time and building your hold longer.

2. Negatives. Use your knees to get to the top hold position and than do a negative rep. but don't push back up.

So, with that I'll be trying that come Monday. My shoulder is killing me from test night for some reason.

A few days rest and it's back to the front.
