OK I decided to give this a try. I never imagined in my life that I could do 100 push ups so I am going to see if this will work. Tonight I did the initial test to see how many I could do. I have puny little toothpick arms so I was a little surprised that I could get 18 done. Not alot I know, but more than I expected. I probably should start in the beginning of the week, so I may finish this week out as week #1 & go through all next week as week 1 as well & then the following Monday start the week #2 routine.

OK an update on my challenge with this. I am on Week 3, day 2, level 3, & today I did 102 pushups in 5 different sets.
20, 25, 15, 15, & 27 couldn't do any more than that on my last set.
A couple days ago my daily test was to see how many I could do without stopping. I managed to get 31, up from my 18 max 2 weeks before. So it does work.Scot

I am just starting week 6 & wanted to post some results. At the beginning I managed only 18 for the initial test. A couple days ago I did the test at the end of week 5 & I managed 83 consecutively. This has actually impressed myself, never thought I would be able to go from 18 to 83 in 5 weeks.

Wife notices my arms are bigger & chest is tighter. I have been doing curls too.

I started into the 200 situp program a few weeks ago....I've been slacking in that though....it makes my back sore, so I haven't been quite as dedicated to this one.

This looks pretty cool I'll have to try it out. I lift regularly but I don't do pushups much. I've been trying to increase my bench max so I'd be curious if getting to where I can do 100 pushups would increase my bench strength much.

It will help your stamina probably more than your max bench. I think it helped my arms moreso than anything...my triceps especially. Originally Posted by T_Raven

I'll bring this back up to the top to get some updates!
My 14 Y. O. son and I started last week and will be starting week two tonight. My initial was 18 and his was 16.
The public announcement should help keep me on track as well.......

I'm going to repeat week 5 and 6. I've never had a lot of upper body strength and I had to drop down to the left column on week 6. I can now do 60 consecutive push ups though!
How are the rest of you doing?

I used to be able to do 50. Although I have been lifting, running and boxing 5-6 days a week for a long time now, I tried this morning and could only do 29 straight through. I may try to divert a few days a week to this. My sparring partner thinks it will do well for my jab and hooks especially.
We'll see.Nick R.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Anyone done this or something similar with sit ups? I work with the military and I'm always giving my buddies crap about being in worse shape so I finally took a PT test with them today. I did more push ups and out ran them all but I failed the sit ups lol.
Edit: shoulda looked at the website first. I see the two hundred sit ups thing. I'll start doing that.Traven

Situps....I didn't do the whole 200 situp routine, but have been using my reverse incline bench to do several sets of 100 situps during my workouts. For the final set of 100, I grab a 35lb plate and hold it to my chest while doing the situps....that makes my gut burn pretty good....LOL
