So. Day 3 of Week One: The One Hundred Pushup Challenge comes to an end. When I started this, the inital goal was to do as many good form pushups as possible, and then start the program based on that. I was able to eek out 12 that day, and man did that hurt. Continuing on, my partner in pushups at my side, we blew through day one, had a bit of a rough time with day two, and today, I was sure I wasn’t going to be able to do our 3rd, 4th, or max set because my arms were throbbing, and my right bicep gave out on the 7th pushup of our 3rd set. With that, we did our cardio training (Biggest Loser Season 4 Workout DVD WOO!) and went back in to finish our 4th set, then do our max.

I surprised myself. I didn’t think I was going to be able to do 10, let alone our minimum of 15. However, I pushed hard and managed to do 21 good pushups. I just couldn’t get back up for #22. But, thats a stronger showing by far than 12. I’m gaining confidence that this program is actually GOING to work! Now, we have 2 days off (and I definitely need it) and we’ll begin week 2. This is an awesome way to get stronger on a schedual. I’m so glad I found this.
