Good news... I cranked out 90 consecutive pushups today. 90! Holy cow!
That puts the finish line really close within reach.
Daily Total: 90
Overall Total: 5922
So heading into it, I thought the first 50 will be a warm up. After all, I've been doing 56 in the first set of W6D1. And sure enough, the first 50 fell without too much trouble.
Now it all ways seemed that if I got to 90 I'd be able to make it to 100. I mean, it's only 10 pushups away. I don't care if my arms are broken, I'd be able to complete 10 more to hit my goal, right?
Good concept, but it didn't turn out that way. I really struggled past the 70's and used everything to get through the 80's. By the time I hit 90 I was done.
I was really huffing and puffing by the time I was done too. Running or some other good cardio program would definitely help this effort. I started one in week 3 but it didn't last too long.
I'll enjoy another set of week 6 workouts and get psyched up for next week.
BTW. Cranking the NFL theme song definitely helped ;-)

Very, very close Joe! I think next week will be the week...
Question: what are you going to do after you've done the hundred?
Keep at it!

Steve, I've given that quite a bit of thought. So far, no firm plan but...
1) I'll wrap up this blog and start another. It's been fun, but time consuming.
2) I'll keep doing pushups. Probably repeat weeks 5 & 6 initially. It's a great, simple, workout, and I'd like to do 100 with confidence, not just barely squeaking them out.
3) Maybe start pull ups. Now that I have monster triceps from pushups, I'd like to work on the biceps.
We'll see what else...
