100 Pushup Challenge: Week 4 Exhaustion Test

Week 4 – what column will I be doing in week 5?

This morning I was waiting around for some workers to finish fixing a crack in my foundation. While I waited around I decided to do my exhaustion test for week 4.

If you perform 30 or less pushups you go back to week 3 and 4. I was thinking that was the way I might be headed. Up until now I haven’t been able to do more than 25 pushups at a time (which in itself was an improvement).

I got down on the floor this morning and started pushing out pushups at a pretty good pace. I made it to 10, then 20. Then I passed my previous high and kept going. I made it to 30 then 35. I eeked out one more to stop at 36. That’s quite an improvement over week one’s initial test!

Looking at the workout plan for week 5, I think I may be in for a rude awakening. Column 2 (which I’m supposedly supposed to be using) starts out with 35 pushups, and pretty much stays hard the entire time. Wow, this is going to be interesting.

In the interest of having a better chance of finishing week 5, I think I’m going to do column one for week 5. Let’s just all pretend I didn’t eek out that last pushup :).

So starting tomorrow, week 5 of the 100 pushups challenge!

Here’s my progress so far:

    Actually column 2 starts out with 35 pushups! 🙂

    It’s good to see that we can all do more pushups now. The program does work even if it’s going to take a lot more than 6 weeks.

    I am not a big fan of pushups (aaargh!), but have had to do them a lot this summer in the Boot Camp class I am taking. It’s nice to see how you improve in those classes – they time you to see how many you can do in a minute. I can now do 34 pushups in one minute compared to 26 when the class started six weeks ago. It’s not a huge improvement, but an improvement nonetheless.
