I want to give a shout out to those who mentioned hundredpushups.com. I’ve started doing the program, and I’m now working towards this goal far more consistently!
Alas, I’m really not doing “good form” push-ups. So I’m going to achieve the goal as I envisioned it, doing my not-quite-down-far-enough push-ups, then start over and get my chest all the way down to the ground.
Weeks one and two of the Hundred Pushups program went well. Today I did 26 in a row. According to the chart, that means I should continue with column three, but I think it is a little unrealistic to think that I can do sets of 25, 17, 17, 15, and 25 pushups within 5 minutes when 26 pushups is the maximum I can do. So I am going to try column two. If I complete that successfully, maybe I’ll repeat this week with column three.
I’ve been totally slacking on this one. I really need to work on it more often! Last time I did push-ups, I managed to do 10 regular, and 10 modified (on the knees). I wanted to meet this goal by the end of the year!
My goal of working up to 50 pushups stalled recently. I can do about 25 at one time. Then I came across a mention of hundredpushups.com on Lifehacker. This program promises to take us from zero to one hundred pushups in 6 weeks. Sounds ambitious, but if it is only half-true, I’ll reach my goal. So today I started Week One. Week One looks fairly easy, so I am doing the third column, the hardest. If anyone else cares to give it a try, let me know how it goes.
I lowered this goal from 100 to 50. I wasn’t considering the quality of my form and I now see that it’s really important.
I’ve take an unintentional break so now I must get back to doing 30 strong pushups.
Second day of hundredpushups.com and I’ve completed 59 push ups.
I’ll be continuing the programme, so I can complete 100 (http://www.43things.com/things/view/56685/do-100-pushups).
