Anyone else trying this? It is supposed to get you up to 100 pushups in 6 weeks. I started week 1 day 1 yesterday and its pretty intense so far. Site is HundredPushups if anyone is interested. The iPhone app is 1.99 but very worth it in my opinion, very in depth.
Has anyone else tried this? |

I'm going through it right now. This is what I have found: It's not really a 6 week program. I started at Week 3. I then struggled with Week 4 Day 1, so I repeated Week 3. I then moved on to Week 4. I am now repeating Week 4 again. So this is my 4th week, but I've only advanced 2 weeks in the program. I have no problem with this, I am improving, that's what matters. Don't get discouraged if you have to repeat a week! It's all about improvement, not how you're progressing on some plan. As long as you are doing better, no matter how small of an improvement, you are succeeding! I'm also doing the sit ups one at the same time. These programs are good. I'm keeping track of my progress in two week intervals. Here's how I've improved so far. Week 0: PU - 31 SU - 33 Week 2: PU - 40 SU - 55(!) This Sunday I will do my next evaluation. I can post the results if you're interested. |

Good progress. I am thinking about incorporating something like this in conjunction with a bodybuilding oriented weight training regimen, not sure how to fit everything in just yet.

Here's a quick update if anyone's interested. This is the end of my fifth week working on these programs. PU: 56 SU: 70 I'm pretty happy with my improvement so far. |

I don't know if you have a time limit, but I'm aiming for 100+ within two minutes and use this program. I'd recommend it for anybody in decent enough shape (at least 60+, I'd think): 'DROP and Give Me 100!' program Week 1 Relative intensity Set frequency –––––––– –––––––––––––––––– –––––––––––––– Monday 100% test; then 40% of test max # reps every 60 min Tuesday 50% 30 min Wednesday 70% 45 min Thursday 40% 60 min Friday 80% 60 min Saturday 55% 90 min Sunday 20% 90 min Week 2 ––––––––- Monday 100% test; then 90% of new test max # every 120 min Tuesday 45% 60 min Wednesday 20% 10 min Thursday 65% 90 min Friday 75% 60 min Saturday 30% 90 min Sunday 15% 120 min Week 3 –––––––––– Monday 100% test This is what I'm currently training with for my pullups, push-ups, and sit-ups (in addition to swimming, running, and lifting but I'm aiming for a very demanding lifestyle in the next few years).

I'm working on the two minute time limit as well. That looks like a good plan, I've read a lot of advice suggesting methods very similar to that. |
