Hundred Pushups Week 4 Day 2
I beat the minimum required on the last set, 20 pushups, by 25%, 25 push ups! My total for today, my 11th workout, was 96 pushups. That's the same as last Wed. I just looked over the chart. I'm doing column two in the printout this week. I have the same workout this week as last week on days 2 and 3. That surprises me.Here is a chart, with day, number of repetitions for each of the five sets and total push ups:
- Mon. 10, 10, 8, 6, 16 = 48
- Wed. 12, 12, 10, 10, 16 = 60
- Fri. 15, 13, 10, 10, 17 = 65
- Mon. 12, 12, 9, 8, 16 = 56
- Wed. 16, 13, 11, 11, 18 = 69
- Fri. 15, 15, 12, 12, 17 = 71
- Mon. 25, 17, 17, 15, 15 = 89

What kind of gains are you seeing? Strength, muscle or endurance?
Hi Jeff. Just found your comment and questions.
Strength is improving. I'm adding more weight to my bench work, even though I'm doing it less than 20 minutes after my push up workout.
Muscle mass is increasing. My wife pointed it out to me, then I notice my shirts are getting tighter across my chest.
Endurance is the most dramatic gain. As you see from my workout chart, I've gone form struggling through 48 pushups the first day to over 100 pushups now.
A whole week of workouts takes only 30 minutes. I've been doing one hour of weight training 1-3 times a week for over 4 years. So I'd say this program is pretty awesome for breaking through a plateau.
Thanks for the update. I'm also doing the hundredpushups challenge. I'm doing week 5 day 3 this sat.
