Push-ups: My Personal White Whale

Maybe I'll look like this guy by the end of the 100 pushup challenge...doubtful.


I’ve always despised pushups. Always. Since grade school. With a passion.

But, I’ve decided to get better at push-ups, thanks to a friend in the 10 in ’10 group. I’ve started a 100 pushups challenge, based on a program that can be found here. From today, I have 6 weeks to reach 100 pushups…that gives me to about April 6.

I did my initial pushup fitness test and did a big old 13 push-ups.  I was actually nicely surprised with that amount! Wish me luck, and by the end maybe I’ll look like the guy above!

  1. Hey Sam. Good luck. If you stick with it, you’ll improve like crazy. My barrier has been around week three or four. I get majorly bad triceps tendinitis. Just be careful and take a break if you have to.

  2. Holy crap, you did 13 pushups?! I did 1.
