Push Ups: Week 3

Just realized that I haven’t written a push-ups post since the end of my first week. If you have been following my push ups logger then you’ll have seen how I’ve been doing.

And since I am thinking about becoming a physical educator and trainer, it makes sense for me to start a stable program.

That being said, one program that interested me was the “One Hundred Push-Ups” program. You may have heard of it, since there are a number of spin-offs and variations. I decided, what the heck, why not give it a shot? Supposedly, anyone can do it, and if I’m as in shape as I think I am, it should be a piece of cake. Or several pieces of cake. Or several pieces of low-calorie cake. Read More…
