We had 363 reps from 3 Steemians for this round.
I did 78 push-ups (23 of them with a 3 second hold at the bottom) and 22 bar shoulder presses of 85 pounds. This was while "resting" during my gym workout. I need to give my legs a breather since they're worn out a little bit from catching a game on Sunday. They feel great, but are telling me to give them some time.
Again, shoulder presses have been added to the challenge options. Please include the weight.
Please step up for yourselves to improve your health right now. It's our most valuable asset.
You can work together to produce "team reps" to more easily get involved.
As long as 100 reps of a combo of push-ups, squats, and shoulder presses are done, reply on my post with those who helped.
I encourage more of this so people don't feel intimidated. The goal is to be happy, proud, and healthy from this exercise and participation.
Excuses are thinning!

It's not a competition between people, but it's one with ourselves to improve our health and wellness.
Day 46 Results: 363 reps from 3 Steemians for Monday EST, 9/30.
Talk is cheap. Actions matter. Thank you for being involved!
My 9/30 Reps & Feedback: 78 push-ups (23 w/ 3 second hold at base) and 22 shoulder presses of an 85 pound bar.
Back at the gym, I did core, cable wood chop and pitching arm/rotator cuff work, speed bag, and assorted auxiliary exercises.
I feel very strong with my push-ups, so I'm going to start making them a little more diverse and/or difficult to keep myself growing.
Dinner was 1.5 pounds of chicken stir fry in olive oil with onions.
I never use supplements or any type of cheating. Just food, hydration, passion and hard work.

Everyone please support and encourage the team here. They're working hard to build a community the hard way. It's about the bigger picture.
Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. Use good form to avoid injury and to get the best results.
This will be far from all I do on most days, and the same can go for you.
Markets and spirits may be down now, but our health should always be on the rise.
