100 push ups ...

Last week I was catching up on Al Humphrey’s blog - in particular, I noted his reference to the 100 push up challenge.

Earlier this year there was a bit of a buzz in work when one of the boys mentioned doing a clean 100. In terms of a fairly outrageous target, it kinda captured my imagination. I printed off the training programme from the website, did the initial test (seem to remember I managed around 30 before collapsing face down on the floor) and started on week one. Cruised the first 3 days and continued onto week two …struggled a bit but was still on target. The problem came on week three – I simply could not achieve the target reps without significant rests. I repeated week three …a couple of times then gave up.

Reading Al’s blog, I realised I was seriously disappointed in myself for chucking it. I have started it again …from day one of week one. Eventually, week three will be achieved, and then I can move onto week four and keep going until a clean 100 is achieved!

Will post some progress here to make sure I do not give up this time.
