Re: 100 pushups

My max at the moment is probably around 45 - which for me isn't too great. However, I'm going to start the new year on week 1, and do the whole six week course. I think my muscles will enjoy it more that way, and it'll give me a chance to slide into a routine, instead of having to force myself each day ;)
First I'm going to do the course with a wide "grip", and then I'll redo it all with a smaller placement of hands while just maintaining the 100 wide pushups daily.

I'm going to couple this with a chin ups plan that lasts for about 5 months, and the end results (that I hope to see before summer) is 2x100 pushups, and 2x20 chinups with no pauses except for change of grip.

This in combination with joining a Krav Maga class should result in some pretty decent changes :)

I'm also (and I suggest everyone who is serious in trying to change their body or reaching a goal) writing down what I can do today, and taking some before pictures to couple with some after pictures in may/june :)

Oh i saw krav maga on discovery i think. It's more on the psichological training to be ready with any obstacles, always get up and fight till you die and even than stand up and fight, right ? :D

Yeah, simple, effective techniques, be ready for whatever whenever wherever, and be ready to put up a fight ;)

Re: 100 pushups

Just did my day one - ended on 25 pushups for the fifth set. I'm improving already :D I didn't think I was even gonna do 12 for the second set but surprise surprise ;)

I'm starting from week one, even though I got 22 the initial test, just to build into it :p

When i saw this thread i immediately want to know how much Ric could do. not surprising cause he has crazy upper body strength. Don't think I will participate in this cause I am doing my own training at the moment, would like to see if it actually works though cause I have never heard that 1.5 month of training can improve that much, most training takes over 3 months.

Dunno about ol' Jackie, but Ric is a climber, which means he is an active sportist so he has went through trainings which are much better and more efficient that this silly site's tables :p
