Take The 100 Pushup Challenge

Introducing the 100 Push-up Challenge
Push-ups are regarding as one of the best tests of physical conditioning. Whether you are an athlete, a powerlifter, an olympic lifter, a martial artist, or a recreational fitness enthusiast… virtually anyone can benefit from this type of training. Not only will it give you a goal and a plan to follow for a couple weeks, but it will also vary up your training and target a type of exercise that you might not normally use.
Push-ups Are Great for Martial Artists
I know for sure this would benefit me, because in kickboxing class we are doing all kinds of one arm sideways pushups and such. As luck would have it, I am about to start a new contract next Monday, so I’m going to need to work out a schedule around my new job. In this case I want to start lifting every Tuesday and Thursday morning before work.
Not sure how the 100 Push-up Challenge will fit into that… I don’t think it will, but I do think I’m going to take this program into kickboxing class and see if the instructors want to work it into their program. It might be a little too complicated to explain to a whole class, but I’ll show it to them anyway.
Will You Take the Challenge?
So, let me know if you’re going to take the 100 Push-Up Challenge. I’d love to know how everyone fares on the program. I have plans to use this concept to create a brand new challenge of my own, which I will reveal in the coming days. The new challenge will be something harder than push-ups, but easier than lifting weights. It will be something men, women, and children can do; but it will also be something that you can really brag about.
Stay tuned…

I started the 100 Push-Up Challenge two weeks ago, just completing week 2 yesterday; hitting a personal high of 17 consecutive push-ups (in good form).
While that’s a long way off from 100 consecutive push-ups, I’m very pleased with the results to date. I’ll re-test this Sunday and start week 3 Monday.
Good luck to all participating!!

Just started tonight. Good stuff. That guy should create a 200 crunches program as well. Would be a good balance.
Could call it THE 300!!!!!
Anyways — my max was 45 yesterday as the initial trial. Today I did the day of week 1 .. I forgot how fast 60 seconds can go by in between sets. I capped out at 25 for set 5. I would recommend people write down what their max is for each last set — so you can see your progress.
I hope lots of people do this challenge.
