100 Pushup Challenge: Back to Week 3, Day 1

Saturday was day 3 of week 3 in my 100 pushup challenge. As I mentioned in a previous post I failed on the last set – only making it to 10 of the required 16 minimum pushups, although I did complete the pushups from my knees.  This week I’m doing week 3 over.

I didn’t get to the pushups until almost 10pm on Monday, at which time I was already pretty tired.  The sets for today calls for sets of 15, 12, 12, 10  and a final set of at least 15.

I started out with the set of 15, and noticed that once again I was pretty sore still from Saturday’s pushups.

After the two sets of 12 and the 10 I was struggling.

The last set I struggled mightily from 10 on, but I was able to push out 16 pushups.

I’m repeating week 3 this week, but after doing that set i think it actually felt harder doing it this time.  Is that even possible?  Could it be that my weekend off for vacation took that much of a toll on me?

After doing my pushups I got out our “Biggest Loser” workout video to get in a quick cardio workout as well. As far as I’m concerned the high-intensity cardio workout on that DVD is pretty tough, and it gets me sweating every time!

Stay tuned everyone – tomorrow I’ll have something for you all – related to the 100 pushups challenge. Check back here for an update!

    Week 3 was really hard! I barely made it through the mid level.

    Took 1 extra day off before starting week four today. The first day of week four is easier, but by no means a piece of cake.

    This is getting tough! 😉

    I bombed out on wk 3 day 1.

    Missed the last two sets by 5 push ups, and I am as sore/tight as I was the after the first workout.

    Not sure if I am having a tough physical day or week 3 is just that tough.
