A week after failing miserably on the first day of Week 3 of the 100 pushup challenge, I’m pleased to report that made through W3D1 this afternoon (while at work, no less!). After failing last Monday, I fell back to Week 2 and focused on obeying the time limits for the rest periods and really pushing myself on the max rounds. I ended up finishing the week strong (aside from a minor back injury sustained while rowing) and was ready to tackle Week 3.
So… How did I do?
Required: 15-12-12-10-Max (at least 15)
Actual: 15-12-12-10-16
While my arms were getting a bit shaky by the end, I ultimately managed to complete all five rounds. I also managed to keep my breaks to a tight 60 seconds, so I think that I’m officially back on track.
As a side note, I’ve also created a log page to keep track of my progress as work through the challenge.

nice.. great job! I did day one of week three last week – although I only managed 15 on the last set. This week is a tough one!
