100 Push-Ups Redux

I’ll be going about every-other-day at it. Repeat days as necessary.

A. Standard Push-Ups: Starting on Week 3, Column 3

Chest must touch the ground.

  • Goal: 14, 18, 14, 14, > 20
  • Actual: 14, 18, 14, 14, 21 (barely)

B. Handstand Push-Ups: Making up my own plan.

Head must touch the ground. There’s no way I could ever do 100 in a row. So let’s make the goal 20? I’ll just wing it.

  • Goal: 1, 2, 1, 1, > 2
  • Actual: 0, 1, 0, 0, 0

Strict 60 second rest period between sets, 5-10 minutes between types. Doing these on the same day might be dumb. Doing these the same day as clapping push-ups might also be dumb.

This was really hard today — I’ve got pretty sore shoulders already. Amazing how one day you can bust out a bunch, then the next day zero. I know I can do 5 handstand push-ups!! Just don’t have it today.

Remember — the key is to keep repeating days or weeks until you can do them. Don’t just quit!

Tagging #100pushups. Thanks to @arkansascello and @runningwithpump for the inspiration.
