I think I had my best form yet on the squats.  My knees got a little sore, though.
I was trying so hard to fit a seventh push-up into the last set, but I couldn't quite make it all the way up before time was called.

First I had a marathon midterm (untimed -- I spent ~20 hours on it), then my dad was visiting, then I didn't want my legs to be jelly for our ski trip last weekend.  So yeah, I lapsed a bit.

I tried again last night, and did slightly worse than last time:

squats: 18,18, 17, 18, 18, 17, 18, 17 (score: 17)
push-ups: 20, 17, 10, 8, 7, 7, 6, 6 (score: 6)

I was trying to improve my form on the squats, but I always have good push-up form, so there's no excuse there.

Then this morning, I tried tuck-ups: 22, 21, 20, 20, 19, 16, 16, 14 (score: 14)

Not too shabby, I think.

On Tuesday, inspired by [info]faustin, I tried Tabata squats, followed by Tabata push-ups.

squats: 18, 20, 20, 20, 20, 22, 17, 17       (score: 17)
push-ups: 22, 20, 10, 9, 7, 7, 7, 7        (score: 7)

I haven't fatigued any of my muscles like that in a LONG time.  In the shower afterwards, my arms weren't too hot on the whole hair-washing process.  "What more do you want of us?" they asked.  Skating to campus made my legs react similarly.

Both sets of muscles are still sore, but they seem to be fully functional again.
