I continue Week Four<\/a> of the 100 push ups programme.<\/p>\n

After ending Week Three on a positive note, Week Four is starting really hard. Harder than the third week.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Day 1<\/strong> (10th November 2008):
\nThe sets are 18, 22, 16, 16 and at least 25, with at least 60 seconds of rest in between.<\/p>\n

Set one to three were okay. I struggled through the forth set and had to pause in the 5th set. I max’d out at 20 push ups, and had to re-adjust and continue to finish up the five. My arms locked up, simply too tired to continue.<\/p>\n

The last five were good form in that it was still the arms lifting the entire body. However, I did not go as low as I usually go.<\/p>\n

I think the programme may be taking its toll. I shall push on to Day 2.<\/p>\n

Already, I saw weakness in my performance at the start of Week Three. If Week Four continues to be a challenge, I think I will repeat Week Four.<\/p>\n

Day 2<\/strong> (12th November 2008):
\nThe sets are 20, 25, 20, 20 and at least 28, with at least 90 seconds of rest in between.<\/p>\n

I don’t understand why the second set of 25 was a problem. The sets of 20 are all okay. The last set didn’t go as well either.<\/p>\n

I am almost certain I will have to repeat this week.<\/p>\n

Day 3<\/strong> (14th November 2008):
\nThe sets are 23, 28, 23, 23 and at least 33, with at least 120 seconds of rest in between.<\/p>\n

How easy can this regime be? Yet at 10pm, I found I’d forgotten to do my required push ups. Which was great between cleaning up my hard disk and deleting stuff and pressing archives and backups onto CDRom.<\/p>\n

I took a longer rest in between and managed the first four ok. But with the last set, it was a struggle after 30 push ups.<\/p>\n

Weekly Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think I have to repeat Week 4. I never felt as weak and unsteady in any other week as I do with Week 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
