Double digits!

I can now do 10 pushups in a row with my hands elevated on a weight bench.

I'm now interspersing sets of 4 hands-elevated pushups between my other sets during my workout. I completed a total of 74 hands-elevated pushups today.

I also accidentally did an asymmetrical farmer's walk today, when I picked up a 40lb dumbbell and a 45lb dumbbell instead of two 40s, and then didn't notice until I'd walked across the gym and back. Duh.

Well, when I was carrying hay bales around the farm as a kid, they weren't consistent to within +/- 5 pounds either! ;)

True. I'm not even really sure how closely calibrated the weights on dumbbells are - I noticed that the weight in my left hand felt heavier, but since my left hand is weaker than my right, I didn't think much of it until I put the dumbbells down and actually read the numbers on them.
