Hey lovelies!!!!! Can I just say how much I miss ya’ll! my life has been consumed by studying which is not nearly as fun as talking to you!
Even though I have been studying like crazy, I still have made time to keep up with my workouts which included the hundred push up challenge. I am not sure if you know anything about the hundred push up challenge but basically it consists of a 6 week program and by the end of the challenge, you should be able to continuously do 100 push ups.
The first week looks something like this
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I thought I could jump right in and start in the 2nd row but after I reached week 3; I realized that I jumped the gun and took myself to row 1, which looked like this by the third week…
| Day 1 rest 60 seconds between each SET (longer if required) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 -20 push ups | 21 - 25 push ups | > 25 push ups | |
| set 1 | 10 | 12 | 14 |
| set 2 | 12 | 17 | 18 |
| set 3 | 7 | 13 | 14 |
| set 4 | 7 | 13 | 14 |
| set 5 | max (at least 9) | max (at least 17) | max (at least 20) |
And by the 6th week, I was doing all of this!
| Day 1 rest 60 seconds between each SET (longer if required) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 46 - 50 push ups | 51 - 60 push ups | > 60 push ups | |
| set 1 | 25 | 40 | 45 |
| set 2 | 30 | 50 | 55 |
| set 3 | 20 | 25 | 35 |
| set 4 | 15 | 25 | 30 |
| set 5 | max (at least 40) | max (at least 50) | max (at least 55 |
I have to admit that I did have to take breaks during the longer sets but I did manage to complete all of the push ups and by the end of the challenge I WAS able to do 100 push ups (with some breaks)
but the best reward would have to be my guns!
If you are looking for a new challenge, I suggest you check out their site. They also have squat and sit-up challenges too!
Namaste….
