Hundred Pushups Week 4 Day 3

Feeling good after my 100 pushups workout. My sets today were 25, 19, 19, 17, 26 = 106 total pushups. It seems that the 3rd workout of the week is always my easiest. The first is the killer workout for me.

I'd like to share some of my techniques today. I've been using a couple of plastic coated dumb bells for hand grips. They take the stress off my hands and allow me to get a nice dip for good form. I've positioned my toes and dumb bell grips at the same place every time since the start. I'm 5'6" (168cm). The distance between my thumbs from one hand to the other is 26" (66cm). The distance from my knuckles to my toes is 52.5" (133cm). When I do this program next time, I'll adjust those measurements. That way, I'll work different muscles and provide variety.

Here is a chart, with day, number of repetitions for each of the five sets and total push ups:

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

9. Fri. 25, 19, 19, 17, 24 = 104
