No, I haven’t given up on the 100 Pushups Challenge. In fact, I’ve stuck to it religiously so far, and in fact, we just completed week four (right before my pushup buddy leaves for Europe for a month, sonofabitch). 4 weeks, one month! Week 2 was pretty simple, but Week 3 day 1 I just didn’t have the energy to complete. I don’t remember why, but we had to do that day twice. Week 3 was a fucking badass. I was sure we’d have to repeat it. I don’t remember quite what we polled for our second exaustion test, but I think I was at 26 and she was around 22. We had split colums and were now doing different numbers. No biggie. So anyway we moved on to week 4 after consideration and completed it Wednesday. It was pretty rough to say the least, but it always feels good. After a 2 day rest, we did our exaustion test. Before we started, I had it in my mind that I was going to do 45 pushups. If you read a bit back, you’d see I could barely do 12 before I started this, now I was gunning for 45!

Well, turns out, I was able to do it. Just. Willpower and determination. I can’t believe I’ve improved this much in just a month! This is crazy. I really think that at the end of the program, be it in another 2 weeks or another 4, I will be able to truely do 100 pushups. Yes, there are physical changes that come along with this as well, but just knowing how much stronger I am makes it all worth it. So anyone who is thinking about doing this, get on it.
