OHPU – W1D3

SET 1 – 4 push ups

SET 2 – 5 push ups

SET 3 – 4 push ups

SET 4 – 4 push ups

SET 5 – 7 push ups

TOTAL – 24 push ups

OHPU – W1D2

I started the one hundred push ups program on Monday with a very light workout that surprisingly gave me LOTS of muscle pain. The aching hadn’t quite subsided today which gave me a feeling that my efforts were paying off. So, today I was happy to continue with the program. Here’s my workout for day 2:

SET 1 – 3 push ups

SET 2 – 4 push ups

SET 3 – 2 push ups

SET 4 – 3 push ups

SET 5 – 6 push ups

TOTAL – 18 push ups

OHPU – W1D1

No, that’s not the cat walking over my keyboard. OHPU – W1D1 is short for one hundred push ups – week 1, day 1.

So, anyhow, today was my first attempt at this “sport”. Just like running, I failed in my first attempt and actually took failure to a level that could only be described as phenomenal. But I’ve more or less mastered running so I’m sure this thing will eventually get easier as well. Here are my achievements for the day:

SET 1 – 2 push ups

SET 2 – 3 push ups

SET 3 – 2 push ups

SET 4 – 2 push ups

SET 5 – 3 push ups

TOTAL – 12 push ups

Looking forward to day 2 on Wednesday!

As Close To Impossible As It Gets

Last night, while I was staying awake, listening to my neighbor throw a party for probably absolutely no reason whatsoever, I bumped into this website.

One hundred push ups. There’s something that seems so impossible for me to reach that I absolutely have to give it a try. I’m all in all quite strong and even muscular in away, but for some reason I completely lack the kind of muscle power that push ups require. But it’s not like I’m going to let that stop me. No way.

So, today I started working towards my impossible goal. I decided that I best fit into level one and did five sets of push ups – totaling to 12 push ups. Twelve! That’s like nothing. Especially since I cheated enormously due to the fact that there was a cat standing under my belly. And the fact that I. Just. Could. Not. Do. It.

But it will get easier. Eventually. At least I’m going to keep trying. The program seems easy enough for me to follow. And there’s even a simple tool for logging those push ups.

I’ll keep you posted!
