Hundred Pushups Week 3 Day 1

It is great to be more than 1/3 of the way through my 6 week commitment to hundredpushups.com training. So far so good. My wife is seeing good progress in my pectorals. I am noticing that my shirts are getting tight across my chest. I should have measured before beginning the program.

Today was kind of discouraging. I didn't make my minimum required push ups for the last set. I should have done at least 25, but only made it to 15 before collapsing on the floor. Today's total was a respectable 89 pushups as follows: 25, 17, 17, 15, 15. I'm starting to wonder if it will take 7 weeks to get to 100 consecutive good-form push ups.

Here is a chart of my repetitions for each of the five sets and total push ups for each workout to date:

1. 10, 10, 8, 6, 16 = 48
2. 12, 12, 10, 10, 16 = 60
3. 15, 13, 10, 10, 17 = 65
4. 12, 12, 9, 8, 16 = 56
5. 16, 13, 11, 11, 18 = 69
6. 15, 15, 12, 12, 17 = 71
7. 25, 17, 17, 15, 15 = 89
