Someone on twitter (follow me) was talking about this site hundredpushups.com and I decided I would give it a shot. I mean, doing a hundred consecutive push-ups is pretty bad-ass, is it not? So on my trek to bad-assery I recruited Chris and Neil from the office to take part. We did our initial tests on Friday August 8th and were pumped for the following 6 week challenge.
Initial test – Do as many push-ups as you can.
Chris: 18 – Level 3
Justin: 20 – Level 3
Neil: 30 – Level 4
Chris: 18 – Level 3
Justin: 20 – Level 3
Neil: 30 – Level 4
From this point on every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we drop what we were doing and do 10 minutes of push-ups. Week one went over fairly well. For the first week we followed the chart for our push-up level:
Monday the 11th:
Chris: 10 (max)
Justin: 15 (max)
Neil: 31 (max)
Chris: 10 (max)
Justin: 15 (max)
Neil: 31 (max)
Wednesday the 13th:
Chris: 12 (max)
Justin: 20 (max)
Neil: 30 (max)
Chris: 12 (max)
Justin: 20 (max)
Neil: 30 (max)
Friday the 15th:
Chris: 12 (max)
Justin: 20 (max)
Neil: 30 (max)
Chris: 12 (max)
Justin: 20 (max)
Neil: 30 (max)
And that draws the conclusion to week one of six for the hundred push-up challenge. I’ll keep everyone updated as week two rolls to an end.
