I'm hoping the second time through these last three weeks will be easier.One thing I like about the 100pushup program is that if you step back a week or two you still get a good workout because the last set is a max set.It's much better (in my opinion) to step back a week and crush your next workout than it is to either keep going and not finish the workout, or extend your rest time in order to finish.

Anivair Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 So today is the first day I didn't finish the prescribed sets. Boo! I got all through sets 1-4 and set 5 just killed me 5 push ups early. I'll be backtracking to week 3 for the rest of the week and we'll give it a shot next week.

Relic Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 http://alternative100pushups.com/alternative-100-push-ups-programme/rules-programmein case anyone wanted an alternative. It probably works just as well as the 100pushups but doesn't have the "in 6 weeks" sales pitch thrown in (I don't like sales pitches).

Anivair Posted June 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Ooh, that DOES look legit! If I find that I need to regroup more than another 2 times on this program, I might shift over to that. Seems less stressful. Good find.

torpedotor Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 To me, the alternative one looks very similar. Slightly, different approach (with the one track, as opposed to the three columns), but similar. (But hey, it could be better.)So, since I've started over (back at week 4), I've done pretty well. Perhaps not as easy as I thought the restart would be, but I see the improvement. Little by little.

torpedotor Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hey Anivair, are you in week 5? Or did you go back and redo a week or two? Just wondering, because since my restart, that's where I am right now. Day 3 of week 4 was really good, but today was killer. I don't know I'm finding these so rough. (I'm wondering if I'm eating enough.)

Anivair Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I fell back to week three. Week four was hurting me. Also, update: On thursday and friday we ate pretty poorly. Then on Saturday I literally couldn't even start my workout. Ouch! That'll learn me. So I'm taking a few days off to clean out my system and get my paleo back on track 100%. I'll either start later this week or next monday back at week 3 and see how it goes.

Tocho Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'll be starting the first week tomorrow, Monday. I've done this once before, I went from 14 to 42 push ups in 6 weeks.

torpedotor Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Anivair (and anyone else who was doing this for the current six-week challenge), did you max-test yet? I just got 75. That's an improvement from this May (low 60s I think), and I think I'll be trying that alternative one that someone posted about in order to improve even more.So how'd you do?
