Week 4, Day 1: 27, 20, 20, 17, 30

Was worried with the amount of days I took off that my arms would not be up to it, but it wasn't that bad.

Week 5 day 1, failure. 30, 24, 22, 20, 20. Last one was supposed to be a minimum of 30, and this is the easiest level.

My strength seems to be failing me, I'm not sure how far back I should go to make progress now. For now I'm going to continue on this week to see how far I can get, and next week decide where to rewind to.

That is weird you only popped out 31, sounds like a bad day to me.

Ozone42 — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 16:36:42

Redid the test today for week 5. I only got to 31, so I'm on column one now? Obviously I'm not doing something right. I'll start week 5 tomorrow.

Starting my week 4 today so this should be interesting. Not that much of a leap from wee 3, it seems the odd number weeks are when you get a jump.

Ok, This is Week 4.5 Day 1 for me.

30,20,20,17,27 I messed up and did 30 instead of 27 to start with. But, hey, that can't hurt.

Just done my week 3 take 2 day 3: 25,19,19,17,22

I will be starting week 4 on Tuesday.

I'm fighting off an illness at the moment. I started my week 4 day 3 but failed miserably. Will retry maybe tomorrow, but I think I'll end up doing week 4 again.

I'm running slightly late, but my week 3 take 2 day 3 will be tomorrow.

Just be like me and repeat a week 3x in a row and you to can have impressive numbers!

Week 3 Take 2 Day 2: 22,17,17,15,20

This was definitely easier when I was strictly keeping to schedule - sliding a day here and there and playing catch up doesn't work as well as doing it when it's supposed to happen for sure. I'm keeping at it though.

Weird I mine is my left shoulder blade as well. It's like we are going through pregnancy together with our sympathy pains.

100 Pushups in 6 Weeks

Ozone42 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 07:35:58

My left shoulder blade is not well after today's sets. It's not outright bothering me, but I really know it's there.

Week 3, Day 1, Part III: 25, 17, 17, 15, 27

Pretty smooth, but felt a lil strain in the should blade so might have to adjust hand placement next time.

Nice man, I'll be restarting Week 3 today since the wrist seems to have healed up. Hope I didn't lose too much on my break.

Week 4 Day 1: 27, 20, 20, 17, 27.

Towards the end when I can't do any more it doesn't feel like it's my arms that are giving out, but more like the rest of me is fighting the muscles in the arms. Definitely felt it today.

Week 3 take 2 day 1: 20,15,15,13,20

I'm running a few days late starting this week due to work stuff getting in the way, but I think I can stay on schedule for the next two weeks at least now. I did also go down a level because although I completed week 3 at the top level, it was at a level that was killing me, so I'll get week 3 and 4 out of the way at the middle level and see how the next test goes.

I think I'll be able to do up Day 2 today, wrist feeling better. Then I'll do Day 3 on Sunday and I guess work on a Tuesday rotation. Nice you made it through man! Celebration this weekend!

Hard, but solid. On to week 4!

My ego will be seriously damaged if I don't keep up with the fellas.

100 Pushups in 6 Weeks

Ozone42 — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:43:52

Careful. Don't plow so much that you do serious damage.

No update from me since I was unable to do them yesterday. After Monday's set I felt as if I sprained a nerve or something in my wrist, tried to do them yesterday and it just hurt too bad. Going to try again later today and if that doesn't work I'll just get a brace and plow through them.

100 Pushups in 6 Weeks

Scrivs — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 21:48:54

Very nice, I think if I did something to my wrist during my Monday set cuz it has been killing me ever since so hopefully I can push through it.

Ozone42 — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:36:08

Week 3.5, Day 2: 27, 19, 19, 15, 26... uh oh!

I'll probably keep going on to week 4. I think my slip there is due to stresses of the past few weeks which should hopefully lessen soon.

Week 3, Day 3: 30,22,22,20,27

That was so hard. I'm doing week 3 again next week, and I might actually go down a level to make it a bit easier. I've struggled to get through these. Onward and upwards though. I really want to do this!

The 100th reply to this Note. Felt much better this week. 10x better actually and I did the slow variation for first 4 sets.

Week 3.5, Day 1: 25, 17, 17, 15, 26

Thanks for carrying along with us Fuscom, keep fighting the good fight.

100 Pushups in 6 Weeks

fuscom — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 05:16:32

Week 4, Day 1: 27,20,20,17,27

...and with that, Fuscom believes he will not go back to week 3, 2 or 1, nor gripe about how outrageously bad this set was, while stressing about the next set being even harder looking, but rather, he will gracefully exit this competition.

While I will no doubt continue to work out, and will probably add pushups to the routine, I have come to realize that the quest for 100 in one continuous set is an unrealistic goal for me. There's a reason why I was a fullback and not a wide receiver. There's a reason why I can cycle for 10 miles, but no way I could even begin to fathom even a fun run of the same distance. There's a reason why I hit the links on the dawn of a fresh Saturday morning instead of strapping up the laces to hit the pavement.

I'm simply not built for this. I ain't trying to be all Rocky 6 or Brett Favre either. Besides, I got things to do.

So carry on brave soldiers, I'm outtie and content in the fact that I did 111 pushups in one day.

Dear god that's hard!

Week 3 Day 2: 27, 19, 19, 15, 25

I'm going to be repeating week 3 too - this needs to be easier for me before I move to week 4. I could kiss the ground by the time I come down that last time!

100 Pushups in 6 Weeks

Scrivs — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:44:42

Well I did them yesterday just like the old man in the video with the exception of being elevated.

Week 3, Day 3: 27, 20, 20, 15, 20

This week will be repeated next week because of this and I will be doing them the new old man way which makes me want to kill myself.

The touching the ground isn't the hardest part, it's the slowness/precision required to do it without busting your nose or chin.

100 Pushups in 6 Weeks

Scrivs — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 23:05:37

I'm going to try them in a bit before I eat see how that works out, I'm thinking not very well.

100 Pushups in 6 Weeks

Can't wait to do my set later today with my face touching the ground!

Well, I did it.

Week 3, day 3: 30, 22, 22, 20, 27

I'm going to do this week over. I had to take pretty long breaks between these to get them done. Next week will be week 3v2 for me.

Yeh, if you're not kissing the ground then you're just a playa in this push-up game.

Not only is he elevated, but he is doing them slow while making sure his face touches the ground. Thanks for showing me this, makes me want to go back to Week 1.
