100 Pushups

[SAMI]

I suck.. I never did start this.

New week.. I'll get on it. I need it.

I'm feeling like I'm over training. Not feeling stronger. Just sore. I have chronic (24/7/365) joint pain anyway and this is really turning up the heat on that. Think I'm going to slow it down to Mon.-Thur. only, just two days a week.

The android app that I am using keeps you at a level until you say it is too easy. I was feeling like a slacker for staying at 8-8-6-5-7 for three workouts. But now that I read all the other posts I think I am on track. My arms are sore but not overly so, I am feeling good. After my last set I selected too easy, we will see what I get tomorrow as I am working out every other day.

So, Week 4, Day 2 complete. 25-29-25-25-41.

But... I cheated on the last set. The minimum was 36. After doing the first four sets with only 60-90 seconds rest in between, I just knew there was NO WAY I could do 36 on that last set. Not with good form. So I rested five minutes before the last set. And that made it easy. Too easy. No way I should really be doing 41 on that last set. But the longer rest period made all the difference in the world.

Not going to cheat like that again. If I can't get it done as prescribed, I'm just going to back up, repeat a day, whatever. Cheating it just doesn't make any sense.

I completed my week 1 Day 1 at 6-6-4-4 max: 14.

I did column 2 instead of 3 because I worried I might burn myself out quick under column 3.

Week 3 day 1
12-17-13-13-17+
This went easier today, I barely made the final 17! But I got called away for a sec and had a 3+min. Break rather than a two minute break.
I was doing this later in the evening, I may try it in the morning next time.
Best of luck all!

I'm doing week one over too, because I want to be doing more than the minimum on my final set. 6 6 4 4 7 today.

Week 3 Day 1: 10-12-7-7-10
Week 3 Day 2: 10-12-8-8-12
Week 3 Day 3: 11-13-9-9-21

Week 4 Day 1: 12-14-11-10-16

This is getting really tough. I could barely eek out the last 3. My wrists are still clicking when I do them.

Not at all sore today, so I went for extra credit. Fifteen in a row, which is an awesome improvement. I think I could have done more if my lungs weren't still full of crud.

 

[Kevin B.]

Yup. I just ordered a set on Amazon, actually.

I want to know how you like those. I tried them once and they hurt my hands. I prefer more surface area coverage that my palms give me on the floor.

So, I don't like these. The ones I got ended up being plastic, which flexes under my weight and feels like they're going to break any second. They're also a fair distance from the floor, which feels very unstable and doesn't let me do a complete pushup for fear of them rolling out from under me. I think if they were a sturdier material with a broader base I'd like them better. I think if I were half my weight I'd like them better too . Right now I'm just putting up with the wrist pain, and hoping those muscles and such will tone up over time.

If anybody else wants to give these a shot, you're welcome to mine.

Nice!

Sometime late this week or early next, I'll be doing another "exhaustion test". I hope I'm pleasantly surprised. Because I'm really not feeling like I'll be able to do many more than I did on the initial test.

6-8-6-6-10 today. I made a conscious effort to go lower in these sets, which has lead to new and interesting pain on the outside of my shoulder. I think I might not try so hard on that next time.

Week 1 Day 2: 6-8-6-6-8
Week 1 Day 3: 8-10-7-5-x

I notice the wider I place my hands the more pain I have in my shoulder, but that may be b/c of the surgery 6 months ago.

W-3 D-2
14-19-14-14-19max I FINALLY did more! But only by one for a total of 20.
In this short time, my wife has noticed a difference I think she likes it.

Keep up all the great work!

I'm eeking out the bare minimum, but at least I haven't fallen behind yet. This is an aggressive schedule.
