100 Pushups: Week 4 Exhaustion Test

I did NOT cheat! You try "resting" with your arms and legs like that! Okay, so maybe it's a TINY bit cheaty. Shush.

hey i am really fat n extremely out of shape im 13 yos n want to do push ups but i cant even do 1! what should i do?

[Magnulus]

@bye5225 You could try doing them on your knees. Basically the same as a normal push-up in terms of form (Back straight, etc) but instead of your toes, it's your knees touching the ground and your feet pointing up. My sister-in-law did them like that for a while.

Let me know how it works out for you, and good on you for making the effort!

nightmare before christmas, who are you a 13 year old emo girl?

[Magnulus]

@Selboriginal1 Hmm... Yeah... See, the thing here is that you were in your nappies when I saw NBC in the cinema. There is more to most things than your prejudices, and I'm sure you'll come to realise that when you're a bit older.

I managed to complete day 1 of week three, but day 2 and 3 are to hard for me. And I don't know what's better , reapeating week 2 , or do many as I can in week three. How do you think?

[Magnulus]

I would recommend doing week 3 first. If you look at week 4, the final set on the final day in the third level is 40+ reps... But the minimum amount of reps for continuing on that level in the fifth week is only 40... When you're rested.

What I mean is that when you do the exercises, focus more on doing all the push-ups than doing them without stopping. If you feel week 3 is too much for you, finish the week and then do week 3 again rather than jump all the way back to 2. Hope that helps! ^_^

The way that you were resting is the same way that we were allowed to do during the Army PT test. You can either use that method, or allow your back to bow, but without letting your legs and hips touch the ground.

i needed 1 week and i could do 40-50 without resting

Whatever happened to this program? Did you give up after this? If so, you are pathetic.

@bye5225 LOL, if you need help, this is by far the worst man you should ask. Start doing them on youre knees, and do push ups in a yaer, eat as much as you like, but try to play sports, like me, i was fat before when i was 13, but i started to play soccer and now im 17 yo, i can do 50 push ups easly now, ehm im also doing the hundred push ups thing, im in week 4 day 1! Good luck to everybody doing this program and to you little fat kid, do youre best man, and you will see results!

Very good, I think the program is hard because it's designed on the fact you eat 6 time a day, with proper amount of proteins.

But alot of people forget this, and just eat pizza, and expect that the program is gonna do the job any way.

But your mucked need the proteins to build ;)

And how are your push ups now, after 2 years..

@bye5225 Lose fat, and break a leg

[bye5225]

[andrebgood]

[Man0fMetal]
