Week 3 of the 100 push-ups challenge!
I did four sessions this week, with three sets in each. I increased the frequency to see if I was able to better manage the exercises. I reckon it worked ok, but I’m not strong enough to keep up with the programme. I’m definitely strongeer, but I’ll have to cheat in order to do the required amount of push-ups.
I’m going to do week three again and will try to stick to the programme.

Day 2, week 2 of the 100 push-ups challenge!
Oops I missed a day, but today’s session went very well. I was able to do honest push-ups 90% of the time. I did sets of 16, 13, 11, 11 and 20!! 20 push-ups!! The most ever.

Day 1, week 2 of the 100 push-ups challenge!
After a week, the push-ups are a bit easier, but all the sets are still in the ten’s. I did the prescribed sets of 12, 12, 9, 7 and 12 (2 extra…). The first set was an honest one, and I went all the way down, but the last 4 I could only go down 3/4 of the way.
Next week is going to kick us in the face with an opening set of 25!!

Day 2, week 1 of the 100 push-ups challenge!
I was supposed to do my push-ups yesterday, but was still quite stiff and ended up doing them today. Even though I waited a day, I didn’t feel strong and cheated a bit… I didn’t go down all the way and stopped at around 2/3’s down. It was still challenging though. I ended up doing five challenging sets of 12, 12, 10, 10 and 14 respectively.
Rather than resting in between sets, I did a bit of leg work. I really enjoy these short strength training stints. I suppose I should increase the training time a bit, but I’m having fun for now.

Day 1, week 1 of the 100 push-ups challenge!
Ok so day 1 of the challange was already tough. I started with the +10 push-ups programme and managed to complete the five sets (10, 10, 8, 6, 6), but took 90-120 seconds breaks between the final 3 sets. I’m just not strong enough to do them otherwise. Wednesday’s 12, 12, 10, 10, 10 is going to be very hard.

Take up the challange. Do a 100 push-ups!
I’m a bit of pansy when it comes to upper body strength. I can cycle 4 hours with a smile on my face, but ask me to do 20 push-ups and I’ll fail miserably, let alone 100! I think I managed 15 the other day, which was an all time best.
A friend sent over the one hundred push-ups challenge this morning and I’m like “Yeah right, a 100 push-ups. Never!” I’ve never tried a challenge such as this and since I’m waiting for my knee to recover, I think I’ll give it a go. Hell, I’ll be happy if I manage to get above 20.

Strength training
I’m busy moving, so I setup my weights again today and did a quick 20min all-round workout. The plan is to get the muscles around my knees stronger, so I can get cycling and running again. In the process I’ll do a bit of upper body stuff too.
Oh, and my bike went into for a new fork on Saturday and I’ll get it again on Tuesday. It’s going to be hard not to go for a ride. Perhaps just a quick 10km or something…
