Doing the 100 Push Ups Training Plan

One Hundred Pushups is a site that outlines a six-week training program that claims to have you doing one hundred pushups straight after you’re done. That’s right… a hundred. That’s a lot of freaking push ups!

It all begins with an initial test that calibrates the six week training regimen and each week requires three days of training, which consists strictly of pushups. That’s right, all you do is more and more pushups. After the first two weeks, you take another calibration test similar to the initial test and continue onward. After week four, you take yet another test. The hits just keep on coming.

I think it sounds like a great idea and I like the idea of a challenge. Based on what I know about myself, I estimated I could do around 20-25 solid correct form pushups.

My initial test, which I did last night at around 11pm, yielded 27 good pushups before exhaustion started messing up my form. So, that sets me up for success tomorrow when I start the program.

I do 200 push ups a day but not in one set! Push ups give results quick (2-4 weeks), start with small pyramides (2-4-6-8-6-4-2) en in 2 months your pyramide will pike at 20, added up thats 200 push ups,..takes about 45 minutes with breaks.
