[Closed] 100 push up challenge

I've just started Week 5. I think. Or it might be Week 4. Can't remember what it said.

Anyway.

I'm not too fussed about being able to do 100, more interested in the programme just to use as a structured routine.

I've been doing elevated press-ups (feet on the sofa), and also with 5kg additional weight on my back.

I'm generally managing to maintain a pattern of 1 second push up, 2 seconds back down.

At the last exhaustion test thingy I got to 45 before collapsing in a heap.

I'm aiming for a little bulking up alongside the strength/fitness.

Seems to be having an effect.

I've never been any good at press-ups, but I can do a decent number of pull-ups, ride a rigid forked bike, lug heavy stuff around in the garden, and chuck my kids about. It's odd.

It is a different movement. Pull up = vertical pull. Push up = horizontal push. Thus you are using different muscle groups.

Well, week 6 day 3.
Done.
Think I should be able to finish the program, but bear in mind I 'started' on week 3, I was fitter / stronger than I realised and I've not had to revisit any weeks.
If you're lacking focus, do an exhaustion test and try to look at how you've improved rather than how you're finding it difficult to motivate.
Use anything to focus, like a bad day at the office, but, if it's not working for you, then go and ride you're bike instead.
Good luck with it. 😀

Back on the rails.52 pressups and 48 sit ups(well my version).Two weeks of the Android fuhrer didn't seem to affect my performance.Did notice a slight ache in my right wrist.Think i need exercises to do my exercises,worryingly!

How's it going y,all?

Finally got around to the 100 on sunday night, after an abortive attempt earlier failed at 73 ( too close to finishing my tea!), not sure what to do now? I'll probably maintain on weeks 5-6, hell, I might even go and ride my bike............ 😉
Good luck to anyone still on the program.

58 press ups 56 sit ups.I should be finished by Easter!Can't be bothered to do it everyday.Old monkeys

buggrit.. slacked off and forgot due to new baby 😳

I,ve also slacked of due to Depression and the thought of homelessnes.

Last week I got up to 60, but was really tired and only did 15 in the final set. So instead of progressing to week 3, I am now back to week 2 column 2 again. Still feeling like I am progressing though.

Get back to it yunki.Just do it once a week.I,ve not found it any more difficult.

65 press ups,66 sit ups.Two thirds of the way there.I know i,m doing this a bit to quickly.

can't seem to get motivated.. this new baby is a lot screamier than the last and spends every waking moment yelling at the top of it's lungs..

I'm on about 4 hours sleep a night at the moment.. push-ups hold no appeal.. 😐

May I recommend Superdrug earplugs Yunki.

72 press ups and 74 sit ups on the android app.Anybody still trying.

Not sure where to go when I eventually reach 100.

Long miserable gap.80 pressups and 82 situps.Think it might hurt tomorrow.

Let it slip and started again at the beginning of the week.

I gave up with reaching the 100 press-ups goal.

It was useful for a few weeks to build up a good base of fitness & strength, but I wanted to bulk up a bit more so started doing weighted press-ups (no space in the house for my weights bench since children arrived).

You don't need a weight bench to do bench press, you can do it on the floor (dumbbells are best) as your arms aren't supposed to go lower than 90 degrees.

I know I always go on about this site but it really is good.

He also has a zero - 100 push up program of sorts.

Wrists are a bit stiff today,but otherwise I,m fine.What number of sit-ups/press-ups have you managed Ivan?I don't think I could face going throuh this all again.Thanks for the link skywalker,any ideas on where I can go to when I finally finish my Android torture.I,m not the sleekest of beings.
