135 x 8                                >> Hit my goal of 385x5! That's about equivalent to 405x3.
185 x 5                                >> I was hyped up from music though (but no adrenaline, just anger).
185 x 3                                >> Also I was nearly 200lbs. So maybe that's why I could get that extra rep in.
225 x 3                                >> Next immediate goal is 385x5 with no hype up, and at under 195lbs.

Started officially studying for Network+ today. Reading one chapter a day of this book:
http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Network-All-In-One-Edition-N10-006/dp/0071848223

It's 20 chapters. Found a free pdf of it. Already took all of the quiz questions in the book and made flashcards out of them and put them on Quizlet. From there I download into my phone into my Flashcards Deluxe app. That app makes use of spaced repetition to learn better, as in faster and with less effort and time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_repetition). It'll automatically notify me when I need to study old cards again. Automatically asks me questions that I get correct and less often, and vice versa. I used this app for a huge Cyber Security Essentials midterm I had and I got the highest grade in the class. This was last month. Learned about 165 flashcards in just a week. And some of those flashcards were HUGE. Not one word answers. About 40% of them were  3 to 7 sentence answers. Spaced repetition is the truth!

So I plan to read this whole book in 3 weeks and at the same time know the answer to every quiz question (200+) in those 3 weeks. Then a 4th week of taking practice exams wherever I find them online and reviewing stuff I have trouble with. Then take the official cert exam.

There's a ton of info on this on www.bitspyder.net - the best IT tracker in the world. You need an invite though and it's hard to obtain
