100 pushups

Yesterday I did 100 pusups - 4x25. Wow! That's great progress - I started a little more than a month ago doing just 6 reps. In this short time I got nice visible results. My chest muscles and triceps are bigger and more defined. What's even more important my left shoulder feels fine - no pain. Taking a rest between workouts and not doing it everyday is what works for me.

4 sets (90)

4 sets yesterday. 25,20 and 25,20 in the evening. No problem. Tomorrow I'll try 100 (4x25). And 2-3 days after that I'll do one set max. My goal is at least 40. Let's see if all will go as planned.

4 sets (80)

4x20 again.

4 sets (80)

Yesterday I did 4 sets of 20. Getting close to 100. Shoulder feels fine.

1 set - 35

One set max today. Didn't go to the failure - stopped at 35. So next time shouldn't have a problem doing 40.

4 sets (70)

4 sets yesterday. 20, 15 during the day and 20, 15 in the evening. I felt a little pain in my shoulder. I think it's not from pushups but from other things I'm doing. This shoulder injuries are real pain in the ass.

4 sets (60)

4 sets yesterday. 20, 10 and 15, 15 in the evening. Total 60 pushups.

The Plan

I will continue to do 4 sets and will be slowly increasing number of reps to 4x20 and then 4x25 for a total of 100 pushups a day. Every now and then I'll do 1 set max. to see how much I can do in one set. First goal is 50 which will bring me half way to the final goal of 100 pushups in one set.

4 sets (50)

Today I did 4 sets. 20, 10 in the morning and 10, 10 in the evening. Total 50 pushups. Wow, you can increase volume fast with multiple sets. Taking a rest for a day or two between workouts works really well for me.

3 sets

After a few days rest my shoulder feels fine. I did 3 sets today. 16, 14 and 10 in the evening. Total 40 pushups.

2 sets

Yesterday I did 2 sets of 15. Total 30 pushups. At the end I felt a little pain in my shoulder. Will take 2 days off and see if it'll get better.

One set

Today I did just one set of 30. Wanted to see how much I can do in one set before my left shoulder start to hurt. Everything was fine, no pain. Stopped at 30 just in case. Will progress slowly.

15 in the morning, 15 in the evening. Total 30. Nice progress.

Sets

Started doing sets today. 12 reps for the first set. Then took a long pause and then 10 reps for the second set. Total 22 push ups. No pain so far but there is a strange clicking sound in my left shoulder when going up. Hmm...
