alright One Hundred Push Ups Program

I still can't believe how much I stink at these!! On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm about a negative 5! I guess that speaks to how much I need to be doing push ups!

Thanks Robert J. and Mike N. for the suggestion of using a fist instead of flat handed. Although I'm still trying to get used to that style, my wrists are much happier for it!

Week 1, Day 1 Repeat - Goal is 5 sets as follows: 10/12/7/7/9+ with the last set doing as many as you can, but at least 9. I allow a 60 second recovery between sets. I managed to hit the minimum requirement for Day 1, but just barely. I was shaking so much coming up on the last push up that I thought I was going to drop! How embarassing would it be to have to explain that broken nose! :-)

Looking forward to doing another Week 1, Day 1 later in the week. Okay, maybe I'm not looking forward to it, but I have to get over this hump!! And I will!!!! :-D

    Fantastic Mike!! That is huge!! You have been consistently killing this program. I know you had a day or two where you weren't feeling it but in general, you really did a great job with this one! I know I'll get there one day. It just seems so far away right now. :-)

    I did that 100 pushups program for a while. 100 is TOUGH. I think I got up to 50.

    Great job! Push ups are HARD, especially trying to get to 100. Kudos for stepping up to the challenge. I've always used dumb bells (the pentagon shaped for a flat surface) to grip on instead of using palms or my fists.
