UPDATE: 100 Push Ups Challenge

I just finished week three of the 100 Push Ups Challenge. I will be repeating week three again next week because I struggled through this week and wasn't able to complete all of the sets. I found that around set three (you do five sets each session) I would start dropping 2 or 3 push ups because of muscle fatigue. I almost made the goals for this week, but I'm not quite there yet. Hence, I will repeat. If I'm still struggling with the week three goals after next week, I'll switch to the sets for level one. There are three levels and I'm currently working the numbers for level two.

I will carry on since I'm seeing and feeling results. Heck, I'm doing over 80 push ups each session ... just not consecutively. Not bad for someone who could only do 6 push ups three weeks ago!

  5. You mean real push ups? Not the kind you imagine yourself doing? I don't know how you do it . . . ;-) I think it's great that you are doing the challenge.
