For one reason or another, I’m already feeling a little more fatigued than in the past and it is only January. I’ve decided to buy a putting green and new putter for my basement, brought inside by pitching wedge and plastic golf balls. I figure every night after studying for about 30 minutes, I’ll take a fifteen minute break and work on my short game by chipping off an old piece of carpet into a card board box and working on putting. Then I’ll hit the books for another 30 minutes… As I was reading the chapter on hedgining mortgage backed securities using Treasury Notes, I felt like my head was a punching bag and the text was Mike Tyson in his prime.
I actually went and hit a bucket of golf balls during the lunch break at level I. Best thing anyone could do with that time (except, of course, eat lunch, which I did also).

Continuing to hit high, weak fades over and over didn’t shatter your confidence going into the afternoon? Later Darth Fader.

I was a 4 before I started studying for this thing now I’m lucky to break 85.

I’m shooting for 500 this time around. Anybody think I can’t do it?
I don’t think you can, Cap’n.

If not, where did you go to do all of these pushups? I don’t know if you could do it, if you could post a youtube video of yourself getting manly with the pushups I may be able to provide a better assesment. This was my routine prior to my CFA studies, skip to the 5 minute mark to see my special flipping pushup! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otV-0r3-Qd8 That was (obviously) a joke, I could probably do 500 girl push ups, or 50 sets of 10 over the course of the day. But no way could I do 500 at lunch, probably not even 200 at lunch.
You doubters are just adding fuel to the motivational fire. I’m going to make it my mission this June 6 to do 500 pushups during the lunch break, starting a few minutes before the morning session ends. I’m going to drink 1/2 gallon of protein shake during the lunch break as well.
Make it happ’n, Cap’n.
At LEAST 1/2 gallon.
Where do you do these manly pushups?
