Week 6: One Hundred Pushup Challenge Progress

 

So....yeah.  In theory we were supposed to be able to do one hundred pushups after we completed week 6 of the training program.  Hmmmm....

I finished the last day of the program last Sunday and then promptly became sick.  Very sick.  I've never been sick that long.  My body apparently didn't want a single ounce of food in it.  Anyway, I didn't do anything for five days so I didn't do my exhaustion test until a week later - this past Sunday.  Trevor did it with me.  Here are the results:

Trevor:
Initial Test:	39
Week 2 Exhaustion Test:	39**
Week 4 Exhaustion Test:	58
Week 5 Exhaustion Test:	63
Week 6 Exhaustion Test:	60
Steph:
Initial Test:	2 . . .  HA!
Week 2 Exhaustion Test:	16
Week 4 Exhaustion Test:	31
Week 5 Exhaustion Test:	46
Week 6 Exhaustion Test:	55

**Since Trevor could do 39 pushups on his initial test, it told him not to start the program until week 3, therefore he didn't actually repeat the week 2 exhaustion test.

You may have noticed that Trevor actually could do less this week than last.  I'm going to have to tell on him.  He hasn't been quite as consistent with the training program as I have been.  In all fairness, he was working out a ton at wrestling practice and would do pushups there, but not the actual amounts in the training program.  I think now that I can do FIVE less pushups than him, he's going to get a little more serious about it! :)  I'd been kidding him all day after the test that I must be as strong as him now.  He even challenged me to an arm wrestling match that night.  He can still whoop me.  So he felt a lot better after that....just don't tell him I let him win. :)  (Not really.)

Well, 100 is still far away, but I'm going to keep repeating week 6 to see if I can get any better.  I have a feeling this might turn into a 12 week challenge!
