OT's... yes, 10 pushups... no

The irony is overwhelming.  Last Thursday I figured I would get the jump on some dryland training and begin with some pushups.  I used to pound out a few sets of 30 reps as a WARM UP to the rest of my weightlifting or dryland.  Today I figured I would start with 10 to get my muscles used to pushups again, then move on to additional sets.  I got to ten, stopped and realized, I probably couldn't have done too many more if I had tried.  I was literally maxed out at 10 pushups.  That's beyond pathetic.  Yet, not that surprising considering we did almost nothing for 5 weeks of taper, then I took a week off.  The ironic part being that I just got done quailifying for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials and I'm incapable of doing more than 10 pushups.  wow.
