Day 1, Week 6: Hundred Pushup Program

Posted on August 12, 2008 by Thomas Powell

First day of week 6 of the hundred pushup program:

This was like doing a series of 4 exhaustion tests, minus the mental resolve to push to collapse, followed by one last full out exhaustion test. I think that there were quite a few exhaustion collapses.

Pushups: 56-45-42-40-[56], 239 total.
