One Hundred Pushups Program - Update on Round 3


About six months ago I published a post about the 100 Pushups Program. The program was developed by my friend Steve Speirs (of the Run Bulldog Run blog), and I'm now on my third go around with it. Both previous attempts ended in failure on my part (it gets hard in weeks 5 and 6!), but I'm happy to say that I'm now officially one day into week six of the program. With any luck, I'll succeed in completing 100 consecutive pushups sometime next week (that's the end goal of the program)!

Given that I don't have the luxury of getting to a gym or a the patience to mess around with my adjustable dumbbells, I can't say enough about what a great program this is - all you need is your body and the prescribed number of pushups to complete on a given day (the program breaks things up into 5-7 sets). I use the iPhone app, which is very convenient, and my upper body strength has improved to the point where I just managed to do 220 pushups after my run today (not consecutively) - this is more than I have ever done in one day in my entire life!

If you want to learn more about this program, you can read my much more detailed review of 100pushups published last year.
