Finally Did the Hundred − 7 October, 2008
Throughout this workout, my policy has been to repeat a week any time I didn't hit all the goals for that week. I had to do the third week 3 times, and just a few days ago I finished my third time of going through week 6. I still didn't hit the goals for that final workout week, despite doing it 3 times.
It has been several weeks now since my last progress test, and damn if I wasn't curious where I was at. I decided to just say fuck it and test myself.
After 10 weeks and 4,060 pushups, I finally cracked the 100 mark. Tonight I did 105 pushups. That's not a typo.
The last 20 pushups were a bitch to do, but they were good form pushups. I actually did a few more, but I can only imagine how bad the form must have been, so I didn't count them.
So, what do I think of hitting the goal? Woo-hoo! Sure, it took me 10 weeks to do a 6 week program, but considering I hadn't done any significant exercise in years, I did ok. The funny thing is, I thought I'd be completely chuffed about being able to do 100 pushups -- and I am, but I'm way more impressed with the definition I've gained in my arms, shoulders, and chest. In just 10 weeks, doing only pushups 3 days a week.
Best. Workout. Ever.
Thanks for putting the workout and website together, Steve. You rock!

Eddie, do you have the original document for the pocket mod. I was thinking about adding the sit ups challenge to it to have them both in one easy place.
intrepideddie (January 8, 2009. 03:24am)
Actually, I just e-mailed the PocketMod for the sit-ups challenge to Steve a few minutes ago. Should be up on the sit-ups website soon. Or do you mean the original *editable* document? I have the docs for both pushups and sit-ups, in Microsoft Word 2007 format.

I had to create an ID just to leave a comment for you. :-) I am trying the hundred pushups program for the 3rd time and am going to complete it this time!!! I downloaded your pocketmod, thanks!!!! Congrats to you for completing the program!!!! P.S.- I'm also doing the two hundred situps program too. I might follow in your footsteps and create a pocketmod for that program if there isn't one already. Anyway, thanks again & congrats for completing the program!!!
