Hundred Pushups Challenge – Week 3 – Day 3

Les — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 21:57:55 +0000

Ok, I was supposed to do 30/22/22/20/27+ yesterday. However, I was gone all day at a bluegrass festival and got home after 1am. I tried to catch up today. Managed 30/22/22/19 before I gave up. I’m simply NOT capable of this level of pushups. I’m going back to week 2 one more time. If I can’t get week 3 done in column 3 next time, then I’m going to stay in column two, regardless of my exhaustion tests.

Round 2 of the second week is in the books, except for the exhaustion test. I did: 15/15/12/12/23. That’s 3 more than week 2 last week and EIGHT more than the minimum for the last set. So, I feel confident that I’ll be moving on to week 3 at last, on Tuesday.

Hundred Pushups Challenge – Week 2 (repeated)

Les — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 04:47:50 +0000

Ok, I know I completed week 2 before, but I looked at week 3 and decided that repeating week 2 ought to give me a bit more prep for week 3. So far:

Week 2 – Day 1: 12/12/9/7/12 (2 more than minimum - 3 less than the first go-round)

Week 2 – Day 2: 16/13/11/11/20 (5 more than the minimum – 3 more than the first go-round)

So, I’m on pace to match or beat my first go-round of week 2. Next stop: Saturday.

Ok, week two is finished. I’m still on track and doing great. To wrap up:

Day 1: 12/12/9/7/15(5 more than the minimum)

Day 2: 16/13/11/11/17(2 more than the minimum)

Day 3: 15/15/12/12/20(5 more than the minimum)

Exhaustion Test: 27!!!! On to week 3!

100 Pushups – Week 1 – Day 3

Les — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 02:36:27 +0000

The goal Friday was 5 sets at 15/13/10/10/15+. I managed to meet the challenge, although I did have to cheat a tiny bit on the last set with a couple small rest periods. Needless to say, 63 pushups in 15 minutes when six days earlier, 17 all at once is all I could muster is still quite an accomplishment. Yea for me!

I managed to complete the day 2 plan of 12/12/10/10/10! So, I’m still on target to keep to the six week plan. Arm wrestling, anyone???? ;-)

100 Pushups Challenge – the Initial Test

Les — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:04:15 +0000

Ok, so I started this today, August 17th. With some trepidation, I did my initial test and going in, I thought seven to twelve would be fantastic. Imagine my surprise when 17 was my limit! Not bad for 43, overweight, and just starting to get back into shape via the Wii Fit. So, I start the routine tomorrow and I’m thinking maybe all this exercise is going to make me a stud and irresistible to the women!!! We’ll see. In the end, I’ll be in better shape and healthier, so that’s all that matters really.

So, officially, my initial test: 17 pushups.

The 100 Pushup Challenge

Les — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 02:54:57 +0000

Ok folks. On the heels of my Wii Fit regimen, I’m taking a challenge to do 100 pushups in 6 weeks. Yes, 100 hundred pushups IN ONE SESSION, and be able to do it in 6 weeks. Am I crazy??? Well, that’s what this site is all about, so I guess I am.

Still, even if I don’t make it in 6 weeks, I’m SURE that I will be in FAR better shape than I am currently. Between this and the Wii Fit regimen, I’ll be quite the stud! HAH!!!!

So, are you up for it? Think you can out do me??? Think you are man/woman enough to keep up with me? I KNOW some of you are. I doubt some of you are. Either way, come on, let’s get physical!!!!!
