do 100 consecutive push-ups

I’m trying to get to 100 consecutive push ups too. I’m following http://thepushupchallenge.com instead of the other one. It takes 60 days instead of 6 weeks so I think it’ll be a bit easier. I read a bunch of other people’s entries and they have to keep repeating weeks.. so they don’t get it done in 6 weeks anyway..

Anyway I’m up to day 5 now (you do it every other day instead of three times a week) and I’m doing OK so far.

BUT – I’ve been working with a personal trainer on my weight loss goal and DAMN I can’t do as many as I thought.

I thought I was doing them correctly, but I’m not – evidently.

I was doing them fast and not low enough.

It’s TONS harder if you slow down.

Also – they’re harder if you look forward. PT doesn’t do them that way – but my understanding is that that is proper form as well.

I’m not sure I could ever do 100 of them using proper form. We’ll see though.

I just wanted to check my max, proper forum, moderate speed. 32!!!
And I will only go up from here!!! :)

10,12,7,7,11

hmm…less on the max than the first time..probably cause i was tired when i did this…maybe i should shift this to morning instead of before bed.

11,15,9,9, 8… five short of the max goal… guess i’ll have to do wk one over again. That’s ok

10, 12, 8, 8, 12….holy crap. those last couple on the last set were tough…

Good Start…

10, 12, 7, 7, 12

went really well today did 8 on my max set

Starting the 100 pushup challenge today. I am looking forward to being stronger!

I have to admit it was tough to get through, my right shoulder is still sore from playing raquetball w/ E on Saturday.

My thoughts at each rep…

1. 6 p.u.’s wow I maybe I should have taken a more recent pre test instead of guessing my stength
2. 6 p.u.’s again, okay I can make it
3. 4 p.u.’s now I feel warmed up
4. 4 p.u.’s Oh I hope I make it through the minimum 5 on the next set
5. 7 p.u.’s Yay me :)

So all in all Day One was a success.
