82 WO

So I've been working out at work lately. I have a few sets of dumbbells there (weights not co-workers) and a yoga ball. I've been sporadic with it for a year or so but now I feel I've gotten back into it.
Specifically, I've been working on push-ups. Remember the 8th grade when Coach so and so would invoke his inner drill sergeant and have you drop and give him twenty? Well I believe that was the last time I had a decent push-up. In the last couple weeks I've been going at it. I started with a measly five and then ten, then twenty. Today I managed 82. This is cumulative mind you, over the course of probably three hours. I did a couple sets of twenty, a couple sets of fifteen and a set of ten. Then I tried two more and i felt sharp, deep pains in my chest muscles (yes I have them now). I figured that was a good place to stop. 82 is my personal best. I bested yesterday's run of 65 and last week's 51 1/2. Tomorrow I'll take the day off and work on lower body then Friday (29th) I'll go for 100. Wish me luck.
By the way I'll take tips and suggestions. This is just what's working for me right now.
