One hundred push ups
I regularly visit Reddit and broaden my horizon considerably through that avenue. The other day I clicked through to the site one hundred push ups. The site has the premise that anyone can train themselves up to do one hundred consecutive push ups with just six weeks of training.
I would tend to agree with them, and since I’m not at 100 yet I decided to take the challenge.
The first thing to do is to take the intial test. The test is really simple, you just do as many good form push ups as you can. The number of push ups you complete determines your rank. Although I view myself as reasonably strong, my 18 push ups only landed me in the third rank (out of seven possible). A somewhat annoying result. Of course, it only makes the challenge larger which is what I thrive on.
After completing the test you simply follow the program for the next six weeks, take a couple of days to rest, and take the test again. Since the program is meant to train three days a week it is natural to do the training Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, which is what I will do.
Come Monday I am starting on the first week, which means I’ll try to do one hundred push ups in the beginning of August. I’m turning into a real exercise junkie with running 4-6 times a week, this challenge, and my climbing sprinkled in where there’s room.
