Again I had a long day and started my exercises at midnight. This time I did forgo the cold shower just because of how exhausted I was.
Times were 1:31>145, 150> 230, 2:00>230, 210 >240
Pushups were on the inhale this time and I did 50. Shoulders felt like they were going to explode. I wonder if I should just do them slower instead of being as explosive.
I have a couple of questions.
ReplyDelete1 - are the second part of your timings (after >) the inhale & hold? From what I have read this is just a short inhalation right? Does this increase as you progress through the course or are you going "off-piste"? I too find myself doing this for a minute or 2 sometimes. Not until the natural gasp reflex kicks in, just as long as feels good.
2 - Could you elaborate on the push-ups on the inhale? Are you starting the push-ups instantly and going until you can do no more and then continuing to hold your breath?
