100 Pushup Challenge: Initial test
The 100 Pushup Challenge was popular among some friends of mine a while back, but I didn’t do it then because I was pregnant at the time. If I tried to do a pushup, I wouldn’t have been able to bend my arms at all before I squashed the baby. But now that the little dude is safely on the outside, I’m going to give it a try.
Today I did the Initial Test, which is pretty much just doing pushups until you can’t do any more with good form. I used to be able to do a lot of pushups, back when I was a 30-Day Shred devotee, but I’ve fallen off the wagon pretty seriously. This morning I did 10 pushups with good form (I think). I probably could have squeezed out another one, but I figured starting small will help me achieve great gains.
That put me into training level 2. If I were over 55, I bet I could have made it to level 3, but that’s the way it goes.
It’s a six week program. Do you think I’ll actually be able to increase my pushup performance tenfold by Christmas? Hm.
