After feeling completely out of shape from my first surf session in 2 years I decided to put myself back into the hundred pushups program.  I love it.  In fact I love it so much I even put myself into the two hundred situps program!

I suggest everyone to atleast try it! It really works and it works fast. Each day of each week is a complete challenge and you will definitely see improvement fast! There is also a two hundred squat challenge to try also if you want to work out those glutes.

I am currently at the end of the third week of the pushups program and at the end of the first week of the situps program. I was able to skip the first few weeks of the pushups due to the fact that I was not completely out of shape as I thought I was. I pwned the initial test with 43 pushups. Situps, on the other hand, ugh. 22. LOL.

I also inserted pullups into the routine. Perfect pullups that is. I took their 3 week schedule and compressed it into 2. I’m not sure if its doable. We’ll see next week. Hopefully Steve Speirs of hundredpushups.com can make a similar program for pullups!

Got everything done that I planned to do this weekend. So awesome.  Time to celebrate 4th of July.  Have a great one everyone!

I’ve done it! Well not completely, but I’m on the final week of the hundred pushups program.  Those weeks went by so fast.  I am now actively pursuing more regimens to follow after/if i complete the actual hundred.  I just don’t want to quit progressing now.  Hit the jump below to see my actual progress.  So crazy how much i’ve progressed in this time.  I was really skeptical at first, but being my own experiment, the pushup plan really works… so far.  We’ll see how i hold up in another week.
