Here’s the progress from the push-up challenge. The goal is to get to 100 consecutive push-ups within 6 training weeks of beginning the program. I fell a week behind the program during my taper because I didn’t want to do push-ups to exhaustion when I was trying to recover. I will get back on track now but I don’t feel all that bad about loosing a week because everyone else I know who is doing it has already lost more than a week from their schedule thus far.

There are two components to each day’s work in the program. The first is a series of sub-maximal intervals based on your current ability and then the workout finishes with a daily test of maximal repetitions which is to be done with only slightly rested arms from the previous sets. After each two weeks of the program a maximal test with fresh arms is to be completed. If you want to see the program check out hundredpushups.com
