Push-ups and a shitload of work... my training diary entry from September 18 2026

Hi Actifitters,
due to a heavy workload yesterday, I could only fit in a limited amount of exercise. So, I opted for strength training, including close-grip push-ups. Given the week-long break since my last push-up session and the effects of a holiday spent indulging, I was completely satisfied with my performance. I haven't lost any ground and can now continue to build on this.
The next goal according to the training plan (72+):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 13 | 13 | max (min. 17) | 60 seconds |
My previous attempt (53):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 10 | 7 | 7 | 60 seconds |
Yesterdays attempt (53):
| set 1 | set 2 | set 3 | set 4 | set 5 | break between sets |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 | 17 | 10 | 7 | 7 | 60 seconds |
In addition to close-grip push-ups, I also did lateral raises, triceps extensions, and shoulder presses—all with dumbbells.
Mission 80 (Day 82 = 85.6 / Goal = 80.0 kg / Initial weight = 90.0 / Total loss = 4.4 kg)
As you can see, I weighed 85.6 kilos today. So, I’ve lost a fair bit of weight again since yesterday—and that’s despite actually eating far too much last night. But, of course, I’m not complaining. ;-)
For the first time in a while, a short hike is on the agenda today. It also gives me the chance to snap a few nice photos for my upcoming posts.
