This week, I’m going to add a new feature to the website. For the next six weeks, I’m going to put myself through a physical trial and record it through its entirety. Feel free to come along and do it with me or just drop by and read about it from time to time. I’ll send weekly updates through posts, but you can check it out on the website as I will update it several times each week. You can find the updates here.
The Trial
Steve Spears claims that by using his program, in six weeks, you can be on your way to doing one hundred push-ups. The program is designed to be a three-day-a-week workout designed for anyone who can do at least five push-ups. If you can’t do five push-ups, I think it’s time to get to work. Back when I was at the peak of my fitness, I was able to do just over 60. Let’s knock that record out of the park.
Before you start
If you’re keen to follow along and do the program with me, I suggest double checking with your doctor. One hundred push-ups certainly aren’t worth it if you have a heart attack. Once you get the go ahead, I would recommend printing off this little sheet to keep in your back pocket for the next month and a half. Just in case you don’t have access to a computer for the day.
Initial Test (Sunday, January 17th, 2010)
The first step of the program is to decide at what level you should enter. The initial test is to just try and see how many push-ups you can do in a row. Piece of cake. Out of breath two minutes later, I was able to crank out 36 and I barely squeaked that last one out. After checking the table, as a male under 30 and pounding out 30-49 push-ups, I fit into rank 4.
I will do a MWF program, as my weekends are sometimes screwed up with the army and such. I will also do a weekly test to see how my progress is going. We will kick off the program tomorrow, and see how it all goes.
