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 [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 3, Day 3

Saturday was day 3 of week 3 in my 100 pushup challenge. I was still pretty sore from the pushups on Wednesday, but I decided to give it a go anyway. I did my pushups around 11:30 in the morning before my wife went out to do some exploring on our vacation this weekend.  I [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 3, Day 2. Challenge Participant Roundup!

Today is day 2 of week 3. Monday’s workout was tough for me, and I just barely made it through the last set of 15.   Today’s workout steps it up another notch, and I am 50/50 on whether I’d be able to finish or not. To get some added inspiration today I checked out [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 3, Day 1

Today is the big day – day one of the 3rd week. After yesterday’s exhaustion test I’ll be starting in column one of this week’s regimen. That means today’s workout was 15, 12, 12, 10, 15(max) pushups.  Even though I’ve been progressing, this seemed like quite a bump for me, but what else can I [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 2, Day 3

Today is day 3 of week 2, and once again it’s slowly upping the number of pushups. Tonight is our 4th of July BBQ, so I figured I better get my pushups done in the morning before I get weighed down by hot dogs, burgers and beans. It is not going to be a healthy [...]

100 Pushup Challenge: Week 2, Day 2

Today was day 2 of week 2 of the 100 pushup challenge. I was not feeling it today, and was not looking forward to doing my set of 11, 9, 7, 7, 10(max). I changed once I got home, and got to work. It seems like the first set or two I’m usually pretty tense [...]
