Push-up Challenge: The First Workout

January 1, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

Today was my first push up workout from the site http://www.100pushups.info/programe.html.  It called for me to do 5 sets as follows:

25
17
17
15
Max (but a minimum of 25)

Wow, this was a tough workout.  I was shaking by the end.  I managed to easily do set 1 and 2, but set 3 and 4 were very tough.  After my rest period I got down to do set 5.  I got off 10 in a row and started to get shaky, but pushed onward.  In the end I maxed out at 27, just 1 short of my tested amount of 28.  Wow!  I just calculated that I did 101 pushups in the span of 5 minutes!  I'm still aiming to hit 60 straight and can't imagine what that will feel like to accomplish.  This was a hard workout that I will repeat on Wednesday.
