Someday I'm going to:
Do 100 pushups in a row by: zachwashere
Basically I`m too lazy to actually go to a gym and lift weights, but I figure I can at least make time to do pushups. Plus pushups are free and I can do them anywhere, no need for a pricey gym membership. Found the plan at: http://hundredpushups.com
This is my plan | 80%

  • img_ incorporate cardio     first of all, i don`t want to just do pushups...i need to mix in some cardio of some sort. now that the weather should be getting warm again i`m going to resume walking to and from work every day. that`s about 6-7 miles of walking. i`m also going to try and go for a run (3 miles or so) at least 2 times a week.

  • img_  do the initial test      to perform the test, simply execute as many good-form push ups as you can. don`t cut corners and please don`t cheat - the last thing you want to do is end up in the wrong level of the training program! the results may be humbling, but trust me, honesty is the best policy.     the result of the initial test determines your plan for the next 6 weeks. you do pushups 3 days a week (with a day off in between).   i was able to do 25 pushups in my test, which put me on the following plan:

    After completing Week 6 of the program, treat yourself to a day or two of rest. Eat well and maintain good hydration. Try not to perform any exercises or tasks around the home that will drain you of energy - you`ll need every ounce of strength to meet your goal. Ready?

    Take your time, don`t rush and focus on performing ten push ups at a time. Breaking the magic hundred into smaller chunks will make the goal more achievable and give you more chance of success. Maintain good form and don`t hold your breath. It sounds simple, but just take it one push up at a time until you reach one hundred! If you start to feel shaky, take a few deep breaths and regain your composure before starting again. Good luck - I know you can do it!!

A4S4L4(1052 Days ago)When you set up the "challenge a friend" feature, I think I might challenge you to this. I already know you`ll win, but I`ve never been able to do even one push up, and I`d like to be less weak.Flag as Inappropriate
zachwashere
zachwashere(1052 Days ago)That`d be awesome. I think chase should join the challenge as well...it`d help him on his quest to gain 20 lbs. of muscle.

By the way, along those lines I think I`m still shedding the pounds I gained in our glorious gluttonous chicago weekend...

A4S4L4(1052 Days ago)Wow. That plan of action looks intense.
Maybe I`ll copy it, though, and make Max do it in Africa with me.

Then you and I can have a push-up contest at the Someday party!

globehound
globehound(1052 Days ago)Um...your body is going to look freakish if you only do pushups. May I suggest that you incorporate some ab-work and pull ups? You can buy a pull-up bar for like $30 and it will help to keep your muscles balanced.Flag as Inappropriate
zachwashere
zachwashere(1052 Days ago)I think "freakish" is a freaking exaggeration haha. I think you`re overestimating how big you can possibly get from lifting only your own body weight.

The New York Times says "As a symbol of health and wellness, nothing surpasses the simple push-up...The push-up is the ultimate barometer of fitness. It tests the whole body, engaging muscle groups in the arms, chest, abdomen, hips and legs. It requires the body to be taut like a plank with toes and palms on the floor. The act of lifting and lowering one`s entire weight is taxing even for the very fit"

zachwashere(1044 Days ago)Ok so day 1 is done. In my initial test I was able to do 25 "good form" pushups...but that first set today (day 1) was really tough...60 seconds goes by in a blink. The last 9 pushups nearly killed me and were probably not good form at all near the end. Might have to repeat this week...we`ll see how it goes.

Thanks for the support though...probably wouldn`t be doing this if there weren`t people watching my progress hahaha

Foster(994 Days ago)Impressive plan. Where did you get the program if I may ask? After this you should try some of the other invaluable body-weight exercises available for free! Squats, Lunges, and pull ups on tree branches, scaffolding, or playground equipment. Push-ups are good, but they aren`t all. Cheers.Flag as Inappropriate

zachwashere(993 Days ago)Hey Foster,

I found the plan here and just transcribed it onto this site: http://hundredpushups.com/ I found it motivating to be able to cross off the steps as I did them.

I definitely agree that pushups aren`t everything, now that i`m getting more upper body strength I think I`ll start to add to/diversify my workouts. I was thinking about getting one of those doorway chin up bar things....any experience with those?

Foster
Foster(988 Days ago)The door-frame bars are great; my bro has one I like to play on with my niece and nephew when I visit. The only setbacks are that you can only go as wide as the door, there`s a height factor to consider, and you need to make sure it`s mounted well and you`re doing reps that are controlled enough so you don`t dislodge the thing during a workout. Still, any bar is a good bar. If you have one that you can adjust you can even set it lower and do body weight rows which are great to balance out the push-ups.Flag as Inappropriate

  • img_final test  to perform the test, simply execute as many good-form push ups as you can. if you`ve completed the six week program with no cheating and no short cuts, experience has shown that you should be strong enough to perform one hundred consecutive push ups!  after completing week 6 of the program, treat yourself to a day or two of rest. eat well and maintain good hydration. try not to perform any exercises or tasks around the home that will drain you of energy - you`ll need every ounce of strength to meet your goal. ready?  take your time, don`t rush and focus on performing ten push ups at a time. breaking the magic hundred into smaller chunks will make the goal more achievable and give you more chance of success. maintain good form and don`t hold your breath. it sounds simple, but just take it one push up at a time until you reach one hundred! if you start to feel shaky, take a few deep breaths and regain your composure before starting again. good luck - i know you can do it!!  just in case you didn`t manage the hundred, i would suggest going back a couple of weeks in the program and building up your strength again. maybe week 5 or week 6
    Step 24: Final Test

    To perform the test, simply execute as many good-form push ups as you can. If you`ve completed the six week program with no cheating and no short cuts, experience has shown that you should be strong enough to perform one hundred consecutive push ups!

    After completing Week 6 of the program, treat yourself to a day or two of rest. Eat well and maintain good hydration. Try not to perform any exercises or tasks around the home that will drain you of energy - you`ll need every ounce of strength to meet your goal. Ready?

    Take your time, don`t rush and focus on performing ten push ups at a time. Breaking the magic hundred into smaller chunks will make the goal more achievable and give you more chance of success. Maintain good form and don`t hold your breath. It sounds simple, but just take it one push up at a time until you reach one hundred! If you start to feel shaky, take a few deep breaths and regain your composure before starting again. Good luck - I know you can do it!!

    Just in case you didn`t manage the hundred, I would suggest going back a couple of weeks in the program and building up your strength again. Maybe Week 5 or Week 6

What is mySomeday.com Close
mySomeday is designed to help you achieve those goals and dreams you’ve always said you’d get to ‘Someday’. It was born from a universal truth; everyone has ‘somedays’ they want to realize. It was designed to address a universal reality; life, laziness or lack of know-how makes achievement elusive. ‘Plans’ are meant to address this gap between truth and reality. Whether you build your own original Plan or copy and customize an existing Expert or Community Plan, this detailed roadmap is meant to get you from start to finish. With a Plan, you can track your progress, set reminders and deadlines, get feedback from the community and much more. In addition to Plans, we hope that all of the elements of the site and the social connections that spring up will take people from idea, to plan, to partnership, and, ultimately, to achievement.
