Do 100 consecutive push ups

Results: 29 consecutive push ups.

Looks like I’ll be reiterating week 4, but this time advancing to column 3. x]

Intended sets: 16, 18, 13, 13, 20 (min.).

Completed sets: 16, 18, 13, 13, 21 (max).

I did this day again. Last week I did the exhaustion test and wasn’t satisfied. I also didn’t do enough push ups to be able to move onto the following week. I’m not sure if I had bad form, but I will do the exhaustion test again next time and pay more attention to form. The results will then be the crux for the decision of which group/week/day etc. to move to next.

Intended sets: 16, 18, 13, 13, 20 (min.).

Completed sets: 16, 18, 13, 13, 22 (max).

Total: 82.

I really need to stop missing days with this. I again missed a whole week. I will try do this more consistently from now on. I decided to do week 4, day 2 again. Viz.:

Intended sets: 14, 16, 12, 12, 18 (min.).

Completed sets: 14, 16, 12, 12, 24 (max).

Total: 78.

I was also inspired by CJ’s results for the “exhaustion test”. When I get up to a total of 100 push ups from an amalgamation of all the sets I’m doing in one day, I will do the same exhaustion test.

Some quixotic-and-currently-irrelevent thoughts are that I would like to continue working on muscle endurance like this at least for this whole year. Would be nice to get up to as many as 200 push ups, but that is rather out of sight ATM :P. Better not get too far ahead of myself, eh?!

Intended sets: 14, 16, 12, 12, 18.

Completed sets: 14, 16, 12, 12, 20 (max).

Total: 74.

Although I have already done this day of week 4, I decided I would do it again since that was a week ago and I haven’t done any since. Fortunately also, the body allows one to maintain muscle memory of previous conditioning that was developed. Consequently, one can rapidly build back the conditioning previously developed after one takes a moderate break from training.

The results are actually the same as when I did it last week. Viz.:

Intended sets: 12, 14, 11, 10, 16.

Completed sets: 12, 14, 11, 10, 20 (max).

Total: 67.

Intended sets: 12, 14, 11, 10, 16.

Completed sets: 12, 14, 11, 10, 20 (max).

Total: 67.

So, I have now moved down to column one.

Intended sets: 11, 13, 9, 9, 13 (max).

Completed sets: 11, 13, 9, 9, 24 (max).

Intended sets: 16, 21, 15, 15, 21

Sets completed: 16, 21, 15, 15, 16

I will now move down to column one.

Intended sets: 16, 21, 15, 15, 21

Actual sets: 16, 21, 15, 15, 19

I am beginning to wonder if column two really is viable for me. I am going to give myself a third attempt to complete this. If I do not pass, then it may be a good idea to move down to column one.

Also:

Must remember to time to fit into routine, and to time rest intervals with more exactitude, etc.
