A few months ago, I posted about starting the 100 push up challenge. I unsuccessfully ended it about a month ago so I thought I would post my results and thoughts. You can see my results on the side bar. I did 9 weeks of the 6 week challenge and in the end I went from being able to 20 push ups (yes on my toes) to 55 push ups. The program says that if you are unable to complete a week to repeat it (hence 9 weeks). During the first 3 weeks it was really fun to challenge myself and I could see and feel my strength increasing. The last month I literally made myself do it as the workouts got longer and harder. I feel like I hit a plateau about 35 push ups. After 35 each push up was arm shaking agony!
This program is a great way to increase your strength.
I just think it was too much too fast. It is fun to have a goal like this for the short term but it is nothing that I can keep up.
