I did 100 consecutively for the first time ever just a few months ago. Then I did 500 in one workout but definitely overdid it.
In 6 weeks time if I can do 50-70 consecutive pushups. ...
I'll be happier than a pig in shit.
70 consecutive PU is nothing to joke about.Thats awesome speedy.For a change of pace have you ever used a deck of cards for PU count.Fun to add into your routine.You can do it with friends.
And tomorrow I join the health club down the street. The place is brand spanking new, and its only $9.95 a month. I am ONLY using it for the pool. I am so thrilled I can start my lap swimming again.
$9.95 a month for lap swim? NICE!!!!!!!
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
That is a great price for access to swimming. Feels good to grab hold of your health, doesn't it?
So in the last week, my 3rd week, I gave myself an extra day off between day 2 and day 3. Big Bonus! Instead of just one days rest between each day, I gave myself an extra day going into that 3rd day. Smart move on my part. Made things a lot easier.
Cant wait to swim!

Just sticking to the workout. Not 97 consecutively.
Me too speedy. Sticking to the program. Today I did 50 with rest breaks. Yesterday was upper body and core day with weights so I'm kind of surprised I made it today. I'm getting down lower too. :-) my 7 yr old son was inspired to join me. I think he could do push ups all day. Youth.

I just finished week 2. went from a max 11 to max 20. I am just barely keeping pace....that last repetition where you max out I'm lucky to make minimum.
The worst of times..they don't phase me, even if I look and act really crazy.

Ill finish up week 4 this Friday or Saturday. Ive had the same problem the last few workouts...As far as being able to do that MAX set at the end.
What I do to compensate? I will wait 60-120 seconds and just do another set of my MAX. I do that other set, and I don't feel guilty about not hitting my MAX the 1st time around. Also, I have been giving myself 2 days rest between workouts.

OK I'm in. Got 15 solid ones in and didn't count the couple cheap ones I tried to sneak in at the end. I can really feel that 35 lbs I've gained the last couple years.

I'm near the same spot your are in the workout and that last set is killing me too! I just take a short break and finish out that last set. Its tough but I like feeling the burn the rest of the day! I'm looking forward to increasing my total in the coming weeks!
Sometimes you find yourself Having to put all your faith In no faith
132 total today. Probably wait till Monday to do my next test. I am not really worried though. I will stay in column #2. 36-40 isn't going to be an issue. Funny how the body works. Eat good and exercise....And you get stronger?
Who would of thunk it?

I'm mid week 3. I fell down to column 1 this week but still going strong. My in-house push ups coach approves my form and technique too so there's that. Resting today and more push-ups tomorrow

Banged out 40 Could have done a few more, but had only given myself 1 days rest. In other words I don't want to break my arms, pull a muscle, etc. etc.
I am moving on to week 5, still in column 2, and happier than all fucking hell.

I'm sticking with it. Finished week 3. Column 1. It's yet to be seen if I'll move on to the next week or repeat week 3. This might take me twice as long but I'm determined. It's all a process.

Its definitely going to take me a little longer than 6 weeks. Once I realized you have to take "max tests" after weeks 4 and 5, I knew I wasn't going to finish this in 6 weeks. Plus like I said earlier, I started to give myself a little more time between workouts.
But the difference between week 1 and week 4 is just incredible. It was the beginning of week 3, where I realized I had gotten a whole heck of a lot stronger. Ill finish this 100 pushup test off and then probably do pushups the rest of my life.
