One hundred pushup challenge!

[Truman181]

Final Update

As you can see I've made real progress. I work out today (Tuesday) and again on Thursday. I am almost 100 percent positive I will be able to move on to week 2 exercises next week based on my performance on Sunday's workout.

Quoted from 6-21

Alright so I did the trial to find out my level. As expected I didn't make 5 push ups. I did 3. These were real push ups, not the girly knee push ups. As I said before I'm not in great shape. My arms are skinny and I'm over weight. However I'm committed to this push up challenge for the next 6 weeks as well as eating better and doing cardio such as walking and running.

Just thought I would point out the progress I've made. On 6-21 I could only do one set of 3 MAX push ups. During my work out on Sunday I did 4 sets of 2 push ups and finished with a final MAX set of 6. Not bad...

Thanks for the encouragement man.

As you can see, I was never really gone. I've just been continuing the workout behind the scenes at my own pace.

I did one more on my final set that the minimum required max (4). It is definitely looking like this will be my final week at week 1. Sweet

Week 5, Day 3, (Repeat Week 1 Workout Day 3)

Success! I completed the full workout for week 1, column 1.

Then an hour later, just for fun I did a max exhaustion test and was able to do 8! Not bad considering that I wasn't rested and that my max when I started all this a month ago was ONLY 3.

So I'm definitely moving on to the week 2 workout (column 1) this coming week. My progress is slow but it's steady. It may take me 30 weeks to complete the 6 week program but I'll get there. Oh yeah, I'll be going incognito again so I don't feel pressure to keep up. I'll post more updates when I complete week 2 successfully (which could take awhile..)

Wow, I actually was able to finish Week 3 on

I'm astounded at my gains, since I pretty much struggled with Day 1.

However, the headaches are back and I'm gonna see a doctor.
Probably means I'll have to rest for another couple of weeks.

After that, I'll repeat Week 3 since I just barely made it anyway.

Take the initial test and work from there.

It's a lot harder than it seems.
