do 100 pushups

So, I’ve switched to the full-body (boy-kind), because I wanted to do this right. The last time I checked, I did 41, which is up from 30 from my previous test. I plan to test myself in 6 weeks, at which time I should be up to 50.

My current plan is to do 100 every night in sets of 34, 33 and 33. sadly I can pound out the first set okay, but I have great difficulty on the following ones and have broken them down to sets of 15 or whatever the heck my body will let me do until I get to 100 and feel like somebody crushed my arms.

In my first “official” assessment of my push up ability, I was only able to do 10. That’s pretty sad. That was just before Christmas. After less than a month, I’m already up to 40. That buildup was pretty quick and I’m expecting it to slow down, but I think I can get it up to 100 unless I switch to the boykind, in which case I’ll have to think of a new number.
