Usually, either before or after my martial arts training sessions, I get in some weight lifting at my gym. On this particular Saturday (November 3rd), it was after my Shotokan Karate practice was over, that I decided to do an extra workout.

Day Four: Warm up for 15 minutes with some jogging. 1) The beauty of this four day workout program is that you don’t need any machine or equipment…for the most part.

On track to breaking the world record. Officially cleared 120!

A little while ago I made the goal public: By June 2013, I intend on breaking the world record for most amount of push-ups in 60 seconds. My previous max and NCAA record for my university was 119 that I set back in 2003. As of today, I’ve not only matched my old record, but [...]

Push up world record on track. 119 in 60 seconds as of today…21 to go!

I made an announcement a few weeks ago, saying that in 2013, I’d be going for a new world record in the most amount of push ups done in 60 seconds and as of tonight, I’ve officially tied my NCAA, 2003 record with 119. The journey is far from over…for the current best in the [...]

A good day to do push-ups…and a good time to beat a world record.

Back in 2003, I set the NCAA record for my university’s test of “most amount of push-ups in 60 seconds”, with 119. Now that I’m heading into my tenth year from which I set that record, I have a new number that I’d like to reach: 133. Why 133? Because as of 2009, the world [...]
