Push-Ups Routine

I've altered the push-up routine for the 26th week. It's 16 sets. The first half of the routine is one-leg push-ups. There are a few variations I hadn't tried before: wide incline one-leg, close-grip, triangle one-leg, zombie, and wide zombie. The zombie style is one hand with a parallel grip and the other with a palm down grip.

It may look like a lot of sets, but I've been lowering my rest times between sets to uphold a higher intensity in all of the exercises I do. I used to take about 2-3 minute rests, but have changed that to 20-30 seconds. Endless endurance is my goal, and it's working out very well for me thus far.
