Successfully meeting this challenge energized me. Still flush with victory and feeling especially "good" during my workout the next day, I performed push-ups. Twenty-four hours later, I still felt "good" and shattered my performance of the day before by ticking off push-ups. Two weeks later, the "good" feeling returned and I executed I owed my January push-up records to Heifetz's maxim of raising standards.
