A Confession To Make
I have to confess that the 100 pushup challenge has fallen by the wayside due to work and life commitments. A poor excuse I know but nevertheless an honest one. I have opted to start again, from week 2; week one was no problem anyway so I don’t feel like such a failure.
Based on the pressup challenge site my targets for this week are:
|
Day 1
Rest 60 seconds between each level (longer if required) |
|||
|---|---|---|---|
| up to 5 push ups | 6 - 10 push ups | more than 10 push ups | |
| level 1 | 4 | 9 | 12 |
| level 2 | 4 | 8 | 12 |
| level 3 | 3 | 6 | 9 |
| level 4 | 3 | 4 | 7 |
| level 5 | max (at least 5) | max (at least 7) | max (at least 10) |
|
Day 2
rest 90 seconds between each level (longer if required) |
|||
| level 1 | 6 | 11 | 16 |
| level 2 | 5 | 9 | 13 |
| level 3 | 3 | 7 | 11 |
| level 4 | 3 | 7 | 11 |
| level 5 | max (at least 6) | max (at least 10) | max (at least 15) |
|
Day 3
rest 120 seconds between each level (longer if required) |
|||
| level 1 | 5 | 10 | 15 |
| level 2 | 5 | 10 | 15 |
| level 3 | 4 | 8 | 12 |
| level 4 | 4 | 8 | 12 |
| level 5 | max (at least 6) | max (at least 10) | max (at least 15) |
| print week 2 | |||
| print complete program | |||
Don’t forget, now you’ve completed Week 2, it’s time to take an exhaustion test. Perform as many good-form push ups as you can manage before you physically can’t do another one. Make a note of how many push ups you complete, and move on to Week 3. Hope you’re ready for the next level!
Good luck with this if you are one of the many people trying it out.
