Day 2: 20x
Reason for stopping: Severe arm exhaustion
Status: I followed the Mayo technique that (e:heidi) linked yesterday for modified push ups. However, my back keeps sagging to the ground and I am not sure I felt my pectoral muscles and abdominal muscles stretch or even work. The only thing that is probably dying is my upper arm muscles, particularly the biceps. And they said it exercises your triceps. I am definitely doing this wrong... I will try again tomorrow to see if I can achieve proper form.
Till then, big OUCH. I hope my arms don't fall off in my sleep today. It feels like it.

Neverending Web App lists.Category: i-tech
I was looking up the sheer number of "distraction-free writing" applications and software that exist today when I came across this 
What a hoot!
I never realized that there were as many or even more App review sites and listing sites as there are apps themselves... It's amazing how fast they have sprung up everywhere. There are so many of them that you can make a list of the listings of web apps. For eg.
and a million others. The list just goes on.
Hell, I just created one here.

Day 1: 17x
Reason for stopping: Arm exhaustion
Status: My arms hurt like crazy. I can't even type this properly. I am wondering if this is a wise idea. OUCH. I am not entirely sure I have the right form. I need to check with my department-mate about this tomorrow.
NB: Hmm... can't tell if this journal format is working.

good point I think core means trunk but does it include hips and any of the back is it really just abs???? How far up the sides does it go?

They call EVERYTHING core nowadays. I think that term is so overused it has lost it's meaning. I am not even sure what is NOT core anymore.

Upper Body strength is so much more then just arms but I'm thinking the push ups are a good place to start........ Shoulder and chest and I assume what they now call "core"......

For, Brutus is an honourable man...Category: the odes
I memorized this speech back in the day.
Resounds in my head to this day, at the most inopportune moments.

Thank you. In a few centuries, I might end up competing for the muscle woman crown.
I'm not sure.... It was many years ago for me.... But my memory is that triceps it is the resistance so you might not feel it... In any event wish you luck with this....
I don't think I am using my whole body weight because most of it is spread over my knees... And (e:metalpeter), I did them slowly today and still couldn't feel my triceps working.. hmm.
If memory serves me correctly the triceps get worked by slowly letting your body down ..........
Your whole body weight seems like a lot to start with considering how tiny your arms are. I have two ten pound weight you could borrow to start out with.
