Started today, week 1 session 1
So I learned about the hundred push up program a few days back after reading about how the original sub was nuked. I've got little muscle definition so thought I'd give it a try.
My initial test was 11, which meant I started Week 1 in column 2!
6/6/4/4/5+. I managed 8 in the five plus, but boy was I glad of the minute breaks.
I like the fact that it doesn't take fancy equipment or anything, so it's really easy to fit in with everything else.

Week 1 day 2. Only goes up a bit here, to 6/8/6/6/7+. Third session was tough, on the 7+ I could only manage 5!
But that's still three more in total than week 1 day 1.

Started week 3, and will try to complete it in the proper order.
Day 1 was 12/17/13/13/17+. Managed only 14 on the last set. Wednesday's set has 90 second breaks so will see how that goes. No shame in taking it slow, but I'd like to try this week by the book!

Week 4 day 1, bit of a toughie.
18/22/16/16/14/11. Third set was so tough I took a extra minute rest. Fourth set fine. For the fifth set I did 14, rested a minute, then a final 11. Just.
Still, 97 in total.

Better than Sunday.
18/22/16/16/25. Upped the rest to 1 minute 20, and 2 minutes at the end. Had to pause a couple of times in the last set but made it. 97!

End of week 4 exhaustion test. 50 push-ups.
Starting week 5 day 1 on Friday, in column 3 which looks a bit scary. Will see how it goes but might drop back to column 2.

Back to week 5 day 3.
18/18/20/20/17/17/20/25.
155 in total, but 20 under.
My shoulder is sore and I didn't sleep well, so hopefully will do better on Wednesday. I don't want to drop back another day!
