I’ve been curious about the 100 pushup program and some of my buddy’s have been too. Even one of my young nephews was trying the program. Unfortunately he got bored with it and stopped. So I decided to take on the challenge.
The first thing I did was to exile push-ups and any other chest exercises. I haven’t done them in three months. I performed a max test and wow, I could only do 35. I learned a long time ago that endurance work gets lost pretty easily when I stop doing it. High reps of push-ups is usually considered muscular endurance work and now that I’ve lost my muscular endurance it’s time to get it back.
I know how to get it back, but have decided to instead try a different way. The 100 pushup challenge way. On their site they layout the sets, reps and rest times. The program is to be done three days a week with one day of rest in between each workout. They also have a downloadable PDF that you can fold and place in your pocket. I just downloaded it to my phone for easy access.
I’ll begin the program, starting at week 3 as recommended. My start date is September 27, 2013 and I’ll follow it until it ends on week six. Then I’ll take my final max rep test to see how many reps I can knock out.
Will I make it to 100?
Have you tried it?
Will you try it?
