One of the people who has made a donation, Jason Smith, has suggested I video my final attempt at 100 consecutive press ups and put the video on YouTube. I think this is a great idea!

My final attempt was successfully completed on 3rd September 2008 when I did 102 consecutive press ups!

3rd Test Result: 73 Push Ups!                   Click here for the Complete Workout

I can't believe I managed 73 push ups. Only 27 more to find by next Tuesday. Ummmm... it's gonna be tough but with a little belief I know I can do it. It's incredible to think that 5 weeks ago I could only just manage 30.


WEEK 6


Thursday 29th August

Required: 56 - 45 - 42 - 40 , at least 56

I had to put my training back a day due to a particularly bad hang over yesterday! A pounding headache is not the best preparation for a load of push ups!

Feeling much recovered today I set about Day 1 of Week 6 and was feeling confident on the back of my 73 push ups on Monday! But after the initial set of 56 I cannot believe how hard Week 6 is. This is the first week where I have failed to complete the required number of reps in a set.

The 56 were hard and with sore arms it got harder and harder. I was actually quite pleased to manage the 44 at the end but I was shattered!!

I may postpone the Final Test and do another week, but I'll see how I'm feeling next week.

Actual: 56 - 32 - 40 - 36 - 44 = 208

 

Saturday 30th August

Required: 30 - 30 - 25 - 25 - 25 - 25 - 22 - 22, at least 56

I really went for it today! I felt like I attacked all the sets and my final set shows I was determined to complete today. I'm really pleased. And that takes me over the 2,000 push up mark since I started!!

Actual: 30 - 30 - 25 - 25 - 25 - 25 - 22 - 22 - 60 = 264!!

 

Monday 1st September

Required: 27 - 27 - 23 - 23 - 23 - 23 - 20 - 20, at least 56

Well, this is it! My final set of Week 6.

Today I felt good and it is reflected in the result today. Very pleased to have done it all and managed 64 at the end.

Whilst I didn't actually complete Day 1 of Week 6 properly, I still feel I am ready to go for the 100 consecutive psuh ups on Wednesday!!

I'll video the session and upload it for all of you to see!! And I'll post it on You Tube too! I can't believe I've done nearly 2,000 push ups since I started 6 weeks ago!

Actual: 27- 27 - 23 - 23 - 23 - 23 - 20 - 20 - 64 = 250

Weekly Total : 795 Push Ups

 

Final Test!! - Wednesday 3rd September

Total Consecutive Press Ups = 102

I can't believe it! I did it! This was absolute agony. You'll see from the video when it's uploaded, that I was suffering by the end. I felt like my head was going to explode. I am just so chuffed that I managed to achieve the goal, and in just 6 weeks, exactly like the program said.

Thanks Steve for coming up with this great program and huge thanks to Jamie for sending me the details back in July.


Program Total : 2,600 Push Ups
