100 Push-Ups Challenge

With my usual fall races gone the way of Apocalypse 2020, weight training in a gym still a risky proposition, and a return to the pool imminent, I wondered if now is the time to raise my upper body game.

Within my thrice-weekly Body Work programme, I've incorporated 3 sets of push-ups, routinely achieving a total of 65-80 reps. While lying exhausted on the carpet one morning, I remembered the "100 push-up challenge". Following a beguilingly simple training plan, it should be possible within six weeks, to go from rag-doll to rock star, hitting the century mark for this venerable exercise.

I will start Oct 12, with the intent to make it to 100 by Thanksgiving. There are a couple of web sites which offer FREE plans; this is the one I'll use: https://hundredpushups.com/index.html (Here's another: http://www.100pushups.net)

If enough ENers want to join in, we can build a spreadsheet to keep public track of how we're doing on the road to bigger, badder pecs.
