Daniel's trip to Hell and back

i can do about 65 in one go. That is with really focusing on correct form. If i slack on form i can do about 80, which really doesn't matter since perfect form is required. I'm not sure if i'm going to apply for navy seals or air force combat controllers. I've been doing research and am planning on speaking with a few recruiters in the near future.
This was my swim yesterday
swim-
100y warmup
500y free
4x50 underwater 25's sprint 25's
200 kick board
200y cooldown
max pullups-13 (found out they test pullups not chinups on the past. I'm better at chin ups)
pushups 65/45
abs

My workout today,
5 mile run this morning
pushups 40/40/30/30/20/20/20
situps matched the pushups
afternoon
tennis practice-1 hour
short sprint work-45 minutes
Heard of a cool workout idea. You buy a deck of cards and you match a type of pushup with the suit. hearts is normal, diamonds is closed grip, etc. Then you flip a card and do that many reps of that type of pushup. It turns out to be 368 i heard. Something i'm going to try and work to.

Ya, monotony is getting to be an issue. also the pullups are tested overhand not underhand. not a huge difference, but i can definately tell it is using a different part of my tricep.
Anyhow, been 2 days since my last post. This is what i did yesterday.
wednesday morning:
1 hour full body lift
wednesday afternoon:
1 hour of tennis
30 minute stationary bike
6/6 wide grip pullups, 7/7 closed grip pullups, 7/7 chinups, 6/6 pullups
10x20 push ups superset with 10x20 situps
Felt REALLY GREAT about my workout yesterday. Did a total of 52 pullups. Feel like i'm making some great progress.
This was my workout today
morning:
30 minute stationary bike
8x25 push ups
8x25 sit ups
3 way planks
afternoon:
2.5 hours of tennis
1 hour of running drills
The pool reopens on monday. I'm going to start swimming a mile everyday. Going to need to run a little less, but i'm starting to feel some wear on my legs so i think the swimming is a good alternative. Plus, i need to really push the swimming. All in all it's a good plan for the next few weeks or so.

Hey everyone, decided to take my day off today instead of tomorrow. the rec was closed and i didn't feel like working out in my apartment. I have a million distractions in here and i can never focus for too long.
However, i did walk a lot today. I wanted to wake up early and get outside for a little light exercise. It was gameday here so i just strolled around the festivities for an hour or so.

Had a good couple of workouts today.
Morning:
stationary bike - 20 minutes
2x6 wide grip pullups
2x7 closed grip pullups
2x7 chinups
2x6 pullups
Pushups - 40/40/30/30/20/20/10/10
Did abs between each set of push ups
Swam 1 mile - 28:04
Glad a finally swam a mile. Decided i'm going to swim a mile a day for the forseeable future. I was happy to be under 30 minutes but i can definately improve upon my time today. Considering i was having trouble swimming 100 yards about a month ago i've made some great progress in the pool.
afternoon:
full body lift - 1 hour
Had a great lift. Last 2 sets of bench i did 180. I think my previous max was about 185 so the fact that i could rep 180 2x3 made me really happy. I actually got it up pretty easy.
All in all a great day of work.

Hey all, got a good workout in today. Did sort of a mini-triathlon...
morning:
swim - 1600 y free
stationary bike - 25 minutes
run - 3 miles/7:30 miles
pullups - 16 (new max)/6/6/6
afternoon:
full body lift - 1 hour
100 pushups with elevated legs 20/20/15/15/10/10/5/5
superset with roman chair leg raises 10/10/8/8/6/6/4/4
100 pushups normal 20/20/15/15/10/10/5/5
superset with crunches 20/20/15/15/10/10/5/5
All in all was a good days work. I'm going to do the same thing tomorrow. Instead of 25 minutes of biking i'm going to do 30 minutes. If i have time i'm going to run 4 miles as well. I was super stoked to get 16 chin ups in a row as you can imagine.
I also spoke with an airforce recruiter today and planned a meeting for thanksgiving week when i'll be back home. Feels good to get the ball rolling a little bit. I told him i wanted to join spec ops and he was like "you realize those guys are insane right?" I was glad to hear it, more and more i'm positive of my decision.

Hey all, similar workout to yesterday. Here goes...
morning:
swim - 1600 yards
bike - 25 minutes
run - 3 miles/7:30 pace
100 pushups with resistance
abs
afternoon:
sprints with 35 pound sleds - 1 hr
i meant to do more push ups and sit ups in the afternoon but i honestly just forgot. Tomorrow i'm only going to swim, going to give my body a little bit of a rest. Got pull ups tomorrow though. I was looking online today at weight vests and am contemplating getting a 25 pound one. I'm a little afraid of hurting my legs if i get it though.

Hey again, had a pretty good workout today. Took a little bit of a break from cardio today.
morning:
full body lift - 1 hour
interval training (swim/run) - 30 minutes
ankle rehab - 30 minutes
afternoon:
tennis practice - 1 hour
pull ups - wide 6/6, closed 7/7, under 7/7, over 7/7
push ups - 12x20 = 240 /superset/
sit ups - 10x20, 3 way crunches, 1 minute plank
Tomorrow and Friday i'm going to go back to the mini triathlon. I've been doing plenty of research online about how to weight lifting works and by all the information i've read apparently i'm working to hard. I don't know how that is, because i've also read that during spec ops training you can expect to run between 4-8 miles a day and do 200-500 push ups a day. On top of that there are plenty of other exercises as well.
