Weighty thoughts

I've noticed my triceps have grown stronger, bigger and harder than any other muscle since starting a more disciplined weight regimen over the winter. I think it's because of forcing myself to to push ups -- I now do 25 to a set (10 was the most I could do when I was 17) -- I suspect because of my large girth, it is like pushing a weight much bigger than for my other lifts. So today was an experiment -- instead of doing 10 reps on each muscle, I did only 5, but with between 10 and 20% more weight. It definitely hurt more, and it was quicker. If I'm appropriately sore tomorrow, this may be the way to go for quicker 2x a week lifts.
