Week 3 Day 1

10+12+7+7+19=55

This program is no joke, I'm really digging it, my arms... not so much haha this is good I'm going to keep going with it.

Also take a look at the bodyweightculture push up program. I did it two summers ago and got over 90 push ups, then summer was over and I did not finish it. You have to register to see it, but it's free.

Go to https://www.Bodyweightculture.com and then look at the programs section.

I tell you the truth the hundred pushup challenge is serious. I am really enjoying it and also enjoying how much my arms have changed in just a few short weeks. I did a total of 80 pushups today between 5 sets. I hurt, but I feel good. I love that paradox.

I just finished week 2. I barely finished, but I made it. Doing that strength test between weeks 2 and 3 today.

I just did my strength test after week four... 39 isn't great but it is a good mid range result. I think I'll stick with the first tier though even though the chart says I should be doing tier 2.

I took the inital test this morning andgoing to do day one in a bit. I'll see if my theory about push ups hold true after a few weeks on this program.

PittbullJudoka, would you please (in pm if you want) let me know what your theory on pushups is? I'd really like to hear anything that might help me improve.

i don't know about you, but I found the initial test doesn't quite reflect the tiers. i've started doing in - got 31 on my initial test, but there was no way i could do the suggested sets. i'm doing tier 1 on week 3, but twice a day - morning and evening. that feels about my level. good luck with yours!

I tried the initial test and got 69 woot! *plops on floor*

I have been stuck on the 4th week for a few weeks now. I got through it the first time - on the first tier - but then my test put me on the second tier of week 4, rather than any of the week 5 tiers (i.e. minimum 31). And I've been stuck on that second tier for a couple of weeks now.

Had a small set back yesterday when I couldn't finish the last set, like I had the week before, but I am getting better, which I guess is the idea and I'll keep doing the second tier of week 4 until I complete it perfectly and can then retest and then I'll go wherever the test puts me.
