Push-up Challenge: The First Workout
Today was my first push up workout from the site http://www.100pushups.info/programe.html. It called for me to do 5 sets as follows:
25
17
17
15
Max (but a minimum of 25)
Wow, this was a tough workout. I was shaking by the end. I managed to easily do set 1 and 2, but set 3 and 4 were very tough. After my rest period I got down to do set 5. I got off 10 in a row and started to get shaky, but pushed onward. In the end I maxed out at 27, just 1 short of my tested amount of 28. Wow! I just calculated that I did 101 pushups in the span of 5 minutes! I'm still aiming to hit 60 straight and can't imagine what that will feel like to accomplish. This was a hard workout that I will repeat on Wednesday.

Great job Michael!
If I can't complete a set, do you think I should rest JUST until I can complete the full set? or just stop (at the lower number of prescribed reps) and wait the 60 seconds for the next set?
Thanks for any advice!

Lilla, if I understand you correctly, you would want to do as many as you can. When you do the test, what number did you get to? I can email you and we can discuss there or on Yahoo if you'd like. Let me know.
