Hundred Pushups, Week 3 wrap-up

Written by admin on July 11, 2008 – 2:43 am -

Got through another week!  I thought week 3 would get me but I squeaked by.  Here’s my progress so far:

Date	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Level 4	Maximum	Total
06/18/08	Initial test					8
06/21/08	7	7	5	4	12	35
06/23/08	9	8	6	5	10	38
06/25/08	10	8	8	5	11	42
06/28/08	9	8	6	4	14	41
06/30/08	11	9	7	7	12	46
07/02/08	10	10	8	8	15	51
07/04/08	Exhaustion test					19
07/05/08	15	12	12	10	15	64
07/07/08	16	14	14	12	16	72
07/09/08	20	15	15	12	17	79

One thing I did find myself doing is “powering through” the pushups more (meaning I did them faster). That and I continued to take a little extra time in between the levels (somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes rather than 1 to 2 minutes). I can see the number of pushups I’m doing going up steadily, so that’s what really matters, I guess.

Sticking with the program is going to be most of what gets me to the hundred. Since I was so fat to begin with I set my expectations of getting to 100 in six weeks as being zero.  I’ll be happy if I can get there in anywhere close to six months.

But that’s all right.  It’s helping me to get into better shape.
