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 [...]
