Hitting the ground 490 times in 7 Days | Shape Yourself!

This is no motivational post about how you should allow yourself to fail and get up back again and again. There are enough pieces of work floating around here.

![IMG_20170901_125929608.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmX4Zcez6MmaFyuMKeMXswDWSF31R1FTakmDhMq5VyQbJW/IMG_20170901_125929608.jpg)


This post is rather both egocentric and hopefully inspirational. 

#### A recap of my first 7 Days of the 30 Day Push up Challenge.

After surviving the first hell days of the push-up challenge things developed pretty fast. 

Having been strained from a previous shoulder and chest workout with Mr. muscle at the German Gym and thus resulting sore muscles even the 1. Push up of the 1. Set of the 1. Day was bringing me to tears.

This condition lastet until day 3. The end of the hell days.

From then on I could feel and see my bizeps rise in size and even the muscles hidden deep below my enormous belly welcomed me with a little hello.

Those 7 Days have passed in the blink of an eye and I cannot expect the days yet to follow having in mind the end result . 

***Me, just a little bit more in shape.***

Which part of the workout do reps represent? I'm not fluent in fitness. Up until right now 19:30 China time I should have 73 Sets and 511 push ups in total.

ahh sorry.  Just the total you could do in one go.   

I think the most i've ever done is 50, would be lucky to hit 20 now!

Nice job man, it's good to see people taking care of themselves. Went through your page, and I find it really interesting. Gave you a follow, and I hope there's a pull-up challenge coming soon!

Thank you my new friend. 

A pull-up challenge? Seriously? That would be a hell of a challenge! When I tried last time I barely was able to do 1 pull-up. 

But maybe that's the indicator that this challenge is the right one to be next. 

I'll keep you updated!

Oh great! I hope I inspired you for that ;) 
Remember to leave me a pic of you doing a push-up so I can include you in a future post!
