One hundred pushups

Second day doing this, so week 3 day 2. Managed to do it all and 21 in my last set, so a better result. Rested longer than 90s, but not too much so I think it's ok :)
 
Think Im going to start the situp one tomorrow from Week 1. Well I havn't done the initial test yet, so I might be better than I expect.

Anyway, is it safe to try the press-up one on the days inbetween? Do both for 6 weeks and see how I get along?
 
Just starting the Pressups one, got 20 (although I did aim for 20 but unlikely to have been able to do more than a couple more) for the initial test and so was tempted to start at week 2, but i've decided to start at week one, and then move on to week 2 if it is too easy.

I've also decided to do the situps on the rest days so will be starting on week 3 for that tomorrow. Interesting to see if I can finally keep it up...
 
Just started my first week off today. I couldnt do it right away after the initial test as the muscles across the front of my shoulders were a bit sore, i kinda knew id have to break the muscles in again, i suppose thats what i get for wasting away behind a desk all day. Anyway, the mission has launched, i'll post back over the weeks/days and report how im doing. Im looking forward to the meaner stuff GRRRRR lol. At the moment im worried about pulling muscles more than anything.
 
Going to give this a go alongside my normal fitness routine which is mostly cardio based with a few free weight sessions a week - I'm a road cyclist. :)
 
Started the situps one on Saturday and pushups one today.
The situps were rather easy (week 3 column 3) and the pushups (week 3 column 2) weren't too difficult.
A pain getting up early to do them before going to the gym though!!!
 
I've been doing this a few weeks now after easing in at week 3. Just done the exhaustion test at the end of week 5 and managed 79. Haven't had any problems sticking with column 3 but even so, as I start week 6, I don't think the 100 is going to be possible in a weeks time.
 
Right I did my exercises tonight - totally knackered now.

I did week 3, column 3, day 1 for Press ups and week 5, column 3, day 1 for situps and squats.

I did them sequentially so set one of each exercise then set 2 etc to give myself a break for each exercise.

Just about recovered now. :)

I started tonight too, did column 3 on week 3. Wasn't too hard but I've got a feeling that by week 4/5 it's gonna get tough as there's not a lot of breaks
 
Did 45, but i've been doing 40 - 50 regularly for a while just for fun. Never been able to do more that 50 at once, maybe because im quite tall and have long arms, i dunno, im not really heavy though either.

Hopefully ill get to 100 one day on this. :)
 
I haven't started this yet, mainly because i have been enjoying my week off too much....inc beer + burgers :o

However i go back to work on monday so i will be starting with this sunday night. Do you guys bother with a warm up or strech?, or just go straight into up
 
Week 3, day 3, column 2. Did all and managed 23 for last set. Is a bit hot for this tho :p

I should go onto week 4 or week 3, column 3 next?
 
Did the first day of Week 3, column 3, and my word, I did struggle towards the end.

I think I'm going to rinse and repeat in a couple of days until I can do all the sets without any issues before I begin to move on.
