Here's my Week 1 synopsis of the 100 pushups program. Got 24 on my initial test so I started on week 3. Day 1: 12 17 13 13 17 no issues Day 2: 14 19 14 5 or so stopped because I hit failure Day 3: 16 21 7 or so stopped because I hit failure Been meaning to make a post for day 3, but basically I feel like the progression is a little too much too fast. The number of reps in these sets is too close to my max reps from my test, so it's fatiguing me too much to allow me to recover in time for the next workout. I've been thinking about modifying my workouts to focus on maximizing the total number of reps per week without overly fatiguing myself. I'm sort of thinking of the way marathon runners train. It doesn't help that I'm painting the interior of my home and my arm feels like it's going to fall off anyway. But I'm done with all the crown molding and a good portion of the trim so there's that. Anyway, here is what I am thinking for next week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday: 6-10 sets of 12 reps performed throughout the day My thinking behind this is the following: - 12 reps is 50% of the test set I did for '100 pushups', so it should be fairly easy to do. - Spreading these sets throughout the day will further allow me to do more sets. - 6 sets of 12 would give me 72 reps, roughly equivalent to the 100 pushups workout on day 1 (even though it should be much less fatiguing), but 10 sets would be ideal as this would be 120 reps. Since I haven't done this before, I'm just going to have to see what my body can handle. - A fourth day will add more reps per week (if I can handle that. we'll see) I think I will call my new routine 'fuck 100 pushups.'
