“One Hundred Push Ups” Challenge
A few days ago I went onto a website which my friend, Varinder Singh had recommended, http://hundredpushups.com/ , it’s a training program online to accomplish 100 push ups in a period of 6 weeks (MY GAWSH, IT DOES SOUND LIKE A CHALLENGE AND A HALF) for me anyways, haha. But since I haven’t got much to do over the summer holidays anyway, might as well have a go.
On Thursday (17th July 2008) I started whats called the “Initial Test”, where you count how many proper push ups you can do until you literally drop dead… I only managed 3 proper push ups (shocking I actually managed 1). Making me think now if I barely managed 3 how the hell will I manage 100. But taking into account on the same day my brother made me do chin ups too (Another damn challenge). Instead of chin ups I ended up treating the bar like some monkey bar and just swinging off it. Couldn’t even do half a chin up at first but then managed just 1. Well it’s something I suppose.
Since I done the chin ups before the initial test, it may have been the reason to why i dropped dead within 3 push ups, since my arms were dying from the chin ups. So now I’ve decided to re-take the Initial Test again as soon as my arms and shoulders have recovered from the build up of lactic acid the chin up bar caused…
