Hundred Pushups, Week 1, Day 1

Written by admin on June 22, 2008 – 12:24 am -

Tonight was a bit of a strange time to start the Hundred Pushups program, but I did.

Since I only did eight pushups on the initial test I started in Column 2. Day 1 of Week 1 calls for five levels (sets) of pushups: 7, 7, 5, 4, and max (as many as I can do), with a rest period of 60 seconds (or more) in between. I did the first four levels as prescribed, and did 12 pushups on the fifth, for a total of 35 pushups. The next day I’ll do on Monday so I’ll have a day’s rest in between.

We’ll see how sore I am tomorrow. I’ll drink plenty of water before I hit the sack tonight.
