100 pushups in 6 weeks (Page 4)

WEEK2, DAY1: 9,11,8,8,20 max

So far it is hard but okay... but I see that starting week 3 it's going to be even tougher...

Call me crazy, but I think I already see some change in my arms.... ;-)

2nd max test, just finished second week (started on week 3 of schedule)

 59!  Maybe 100 isn't impossible after all.

Just found this...too late to join? 

I'm gonna start tonight anyway!

So, by my calculations, I'm shooting for 100 pushups by December 8th.

That's 2 days after the Powerman Rattlesnake Sprint Duathlon (my 1st hilly race) & 2 days after my hubby's birthday. 

I'm gonna try to get him to join me in the challenge!  It would be really cool if we could both do 100 pushups for his birthday!  He's been trying to get back into pushups lately.

Thanks for the challenge!

If only eating brownies actually went to my muscles and not my a$$!

Week 2 underway with Day 1 complete:

8/10/8/8/12 = 45

I'm having probs with my max set.  I know I'm capable of more but for some reason my body is just telling me "noooo, I don't think so."  I'll see how this week goes and if I feel the same then I think I might repeat ~ I'm meeting the minimum max but  barely.

Week 2 day 1 completed. Gosh, this was more difficult.

Did these yesterday but just logged them today...how could I forget these...FRICK.

1/2 way thru week 2...

10/12/9/9/15 = 55

Soooo, I took the time to actually stretch today and it seemed to help ~ could that be the secret?!

Forgot to look at the Week 2/day 2 workout so i winged it:

10, 10, 12, 8, 16 = 56

I'm going back to week 2 since I missed 2 workout days

Did these yesterday, (which means this week will be a T,TH, Sat workout) :    9,11,8,8, 15 max  and WOW, I can tell that I missed a week.

Week 2 day 2. SHEESH!!!!

14,16,12,12,25 - I have a headach from too many on that last set

Week 2 day 2 
90 seconds rest between each set

max 15 (Supposed to be 17 just couldn't get it...Carrie...can I borrow a couple since you have PLENTY of extras   )

Total: 69

First time I have not hit at least the minimum.  This is my limiter in swimming...arm/shoulder endurance.  I have adequate "arm strength" but my arm/shoulder endurance $ux.  I'll check on Fri. but I may repeat this week before moving on to next week's program.  Hope everyone is rocking on this.

Really, I don't know how I did it.  While doing the first 4 sets I felt like I was struggling.  I really thought my head was going to explode (currently suffering from some serious allergies).

Good luck

Life has come at me hard this past week and these push ups have pretty much been my only form of movement ~ I actually did these yesterday.

Week 2 Day 3

It took everything I had to get to that 16 but hey I did it!  Depending on how I do on my test out for week 3, I may repeat this week.  We shall see...
