100 pushups in 6 weeks (Page 13)

Week 1, Day 1

 6, 6, 4, 4, 7, w/ 60s rest between sets

 It begins...

Did my first exhaustion test yesterday after week 5.  57.  That's not too bad, but I wish I could have made 60. 

Today week 6 day 1.  Middle column this week: 40,50,25,25, 42.  Final set supposed to be minimum of 50.  not so strong today apparently.  Perhaps the short swim this morning?

pushups repeat (again) week5 day 1 (2nd column this time around) : 28, 35, 25, 22 and 35 (max)

I am baaaaaack. After a stomach bug, I started week5 day1 again.... this is my 3rd time.... But at least I was able to complete the day.... But boy do my arms hurt now.... Off for some spinning now.... Have a great day everybody.

Hey Leah!  Just jump in on the 1st.  We are all at different levels but we will be here for you.  Some of us (me included) keep repeating days and weeks so there will still be going strong come January!

K...I'm finally moving on to week 6/day 2.

I completed day 1 today for about the umpteenth time and decided to move on no matter what the outcome:

25/30/20/15/41 = 131

So day 2, here I come... 

Pushups WEEK5 DAY2: 18, 18, 20, 20, 14, 14, 16, 40 (max)

Well... I made it barely, but I made it.... Plucking along!

I finally moved on to day 2/week 6 yesterday but forgot to post them so here goes:

14/14/15/15/14/14/10/10/44 = 150

I'm repeating this again tomorrow.  Actually I only did 34 on my last set ~ I had to drop to my knees for the last 10.

WELCOME to all those just starting the challenge!!

I finally passed week 5 after about 3 tries!  Seems like I spent a couple of weeks on that one.

Another exhaustion test and then week 6.  Gettin close now!

Yeah John, you'll really be feeling that when you go to do your next set of push ups!   I am always amazed how much you use your abs for those.

I lifted today and am trying to convince myself to do an assessment test.  However, my hubby and I are going over to The Big Island tomorrow for his birthday (which is actually today) and New Years so I won't be on the net at all until the 4th.  I figured push ups would be a perfect thing to keep me somewhat active while staying in the hotel.

Hope everyone has a very Happy New Year!!!

OK.  I started today.  Even doing girlie pushups I can't go all the way down, but I did the program going down as far as I could.  I think I will probably do Week 1 twice, but I'm hoping that that will be all the remedial work I will need.  Truth be told, I don't see me being able to do 100 pushups in just six weeks.  Or ever.  But I will give it a go.

Good luck to all.

I saw this a few weeks ago, but I just read the website...yep, the whole thing. 

I'm going to do my initial test today and start things up this weekend. 

I've never had very much upper body strenght, so well see how this works out!

This is a great challenge for the new year...and it works well with the Jan. Peach Challenge also!

I decided to jump in and started it too.

I never thought that I would feel it that much ... I guess that's because I needed it
