Life Experiment #31 – 7 Weeks To 100 Push-Ups – Part 2

This is my second attempt at trying to pump out 100 push-ups in one sitting. I tried a several months ago and realized that I was going about it all wrong. I was trying to max out every single day for a month. This month I’ll be trying a new approach. I got a chance to read 7 Weeks To 100 Push-ups a while back, but haven’t started the program.

This book from the creators of hundredpushups.com layouts out a program of 5-8 sets of push-ups three times a week.  The reps in each set increase each week until you’re able to do 100 consective push-ups. It varys from beginner to advanced allowing anyone at any physical level to be able to do a 100 push-ups.

Hypothesis: The main reason why I think I didn’t hit my goal last time was I didn’t allow time for growth. By pushing my muscles to their max everyday, I saw very little growth. This new program allows for a certain number of progressive sets each week with fours days of rest in between. By allowing my arms to rest, I believe I’ll see better results.  Although, I did say that most exercise is pretty much pointless, I’m stuck at desk all day, so I need some physical activity in my life.  Turns out that you can’t really get strong typing on a computer all day.
