I did the hundred
Well, I did it. It’s supposed to take 6 weeks of training but I managed to get there 2 training sessions earlier than the plan.
My plan was to always exceed the number of push-ups that were outlined in each set and each session so that I could ensure that, when the time came, I’d be well and truly ready. You can see from the red line in the following graph how I was consistently above the prescribed number (the blue line) and I’ve also marked when I did the 100.
Along the way I dumped the data from the website for each week into OneNote and tracked my progress in there:
My plan now is to continue on and see just how far I can go. Ideally, I’d like to see myself being able to do 10 sets of 50 push-ups every 2nd day and then being able to do a maximum set of around 125. Either way, it feels good to get a bit of tone back into my upper body and abs.
Congrats. I didn\’t really think the program would work. Nice.
Excellent work! Good luck with your new goal!"Congrats. I didn\’t really think the program would work. Nice."The list of people who have "done the hundred" is growing daily: http://hundredpushups.com/didthehundred.html – still time to jump on board

Well done, I also see a link to his 200 Sit ups site now if you fancy another challenge? Added to that I was thinking you could use either program and apply it to 100/200 Squats or some other callisthenic activity.BYW, bought your book on Amazon last month, very nicely done and I seem to be working through it well.Paul
