After recently passing my Zend Certification Exam I felt that it was time to set myself another challenge. This one is sure to hurt me a lot more but I know it’s definitely achievable with a little hard work in the evenings! So after seeing the hundred push ups website it’s time to jump on the bandwagon of people attempting the same challenge.

Give it a go, even if you simply double your push up total that’s a good thing right! I think at the moment I would be able to churn at least 50/60 out in one go but I’ve kind of hit a plateau and not really improved on that number for a while now.

My advice to anyone looking to improve is to train to absolute failure when doing your push ups. That’s how I used to do it when I was 14/15 and could only manage a measily 5-10 but found that I improvements came around very quickly and my maximum number of reps improved each week.

Go and join up people and get involved!
Let me know below if you decide to step up to the challenge.

BTW I’m glad they call this exercise as a push up, calling it a press up doesn’t make sense! If you remember gorilla presses from the WWF days and shoulder presses in gym you shoulder know that’s done over your head, so there!
