Hundred Pushups Week 5 Day 3

two-girls-exercising-cayucos-beach1I didn't do it correctly. It was supposed to be 8 sets. I did 9! My maximum pulse was 117 beats per minute on the last set. The nine sets turned out as follows 16, 14, 14, 14, 12, 12, 10, 10, 38 = 140 total pushups.

One issue that I've wondered about during the 100 pushups challenge is, "What are the disadvantages of doing the program?"
  • People asking if you've gained weight, because your chest is so much bigger and shirts are tighter.
  • You have to live with the feeling of muscles growing in most of your upper body. Some call this pain, but we're aiming for a good healthy soreness.
  • You give up 30 minutes of TV or Internet a week.
  • You can injure yourself, if you don't warm-up first.
  • You have a bigger appetite to feed the additional lean muscle mass.
  • You could be attacked my women at the beach.
Send me your comments or additional disadvantages!

Join us in our 100 pushups challenge.
