100 Push up Challenge (12/86)

Week 3 - Day 1

25-17-17-15-Max

(12/86)

This was assuming a max of 30+. Starting over on this challenge since
my APFT push ups didn't really improve. I'm thinking that 100 PU in a
row will help me on the upper body strength for pull ups, etc...

Thought a week off would get me over the hump. Now I'm not sure I don't need to do some push ups every day. Might jump into the pull up challange and just do the recommended 3xRM every morning...

Finally hit the wall on push ups. I think yesterday's heavy thrusters
really took it out of me. That and Saturday's garbage-fest didn't
help. Gonna have to figure a way to manage my recovery for this to
work...

Hit this workout while CrazyWife did her version of "Michael".  3 rounds of 800m run, 25 hip extensions and 25 GHD situps.

Wow, the numbers keep going up despite not taking any push ups rest days this week.  Wonder how long I can keep this up.  Supposed to find a new max Monday but I might just go into the Week Four numbers and see what happens...

Six Week Push up Challenge

Week 3 - Day 2

27-19-19-15-Max (90-sec rest btw)

24/104

Despite a max of around 32-33 I am still able to knock out 104 perfect push ups in under five minutes. That's pretty cool right? I think this challenge is going to get interesting. Still feeling really good. My push ups have been getting narrower as I go along. Tried a wider-arm push up and didn't like it at all, weird.

I hope my other workouts don't hinder my efforts. Looking at week 5, I'm pretty sure I'll have to redo that week to get all the numbers but a 7-week challenge is still really good and I'll definitely be ready for the APFT in OCT.

Find a new Max day today.

Got 32 today.

Maybe more warm up would produce more push ups...??? Hmmmm....

Wow, putting up bigger numbers once again.  Surely this will have to stop.  Going for a new max tomorrow and even bigger numbers next week.  Should start to get exciting now...

Numbers still going up and up. Crazy. Tweeked back again though. Shoulda warmed up probably but if I don't squeeze this in when I wake up I have a hard time getting it done after a WOD...

Looked at next week's numbers. 25-17-17-15-Max...woohoo!!!

Week 1 - Day 3

15-13-10-10-Max (2-min between each set)

27/75

I continue to do more push ups every attempt despite a bunch of dips or whatever. Interesting. Max has gone up all three times too. Very interesting. I'm excited to see how well this is going to work. I think all the rest is the key (i.e. every other day and increasing the rest periods throughout the week...).

(25)/69

Felt faster today on the first 10-15 of the last set. Hopefully that is a good sign. It definitely feels like enough PU work, hopefully it doesn't turn into too, too much. I'm glad I am doing all of my push ups chest-to-deck. So tired of looking at "Army" and "AMEDD" push ups...
