So today I again limped through my sets at the gym. still suffering from pretty acute IT band/knee pain. It sort of sucks. I tried to counteract the negative way I was feeling about my current state of wellness by pushing rep numbers in a couple movements.
I opened up up with a set of 55 push ups. I haven’t done more than 50 push ups in a single set for at least a couple years, maybe more. Hell the last time may have been when I grinded out a 75 rep set in 2013. I also upped my hanging knee raise sets from 20 reps to 25 reps each. It’s very easy to stay at a certain level with your reps for a movement if you aren’t thinking about it. If you want to get bigger, better, stronger you have to keep pushing upward, one rep at a time.
