Pushups and a Back Workout

Why, oh why do my clients like to see me hurt so much?
I was challenged once again to a pushup twofer......my client did 65 and for the second time I failed to double him (I only managed 105). Then after a short rest he dropped and did 31 more, to which I responded with 10 one arm pushups (per arm) and 62 shaky standard pushups. I think he was grinning more from seeing me hurt than from setting a new pushup record for himself.
When I got home I did a quick workout of weighted pullups, DB rows, chinups and hanging scapular retraction/depression.

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
