100 Push-ups (and 50 Pull-ups): Week 2

Week one status..."Great success!" Following the program, I hit all of the required repetition ranges (and even exceeded some of them) without too much difficulty and am on my way to week two!

If you think you might like to start following along, here are the 3 push-up and 3 pull-up workouts. Keep in mind that the three workouts are meant to be spread out through the week; not on consecutive days.

The workouts are also based on my personal maximum repetition tests, so be sure to go to Hundredpushups.com or Fiftypullups.com if you can't already complete a minimum of 45 consecutive push-ups and 15 consecutive pull-ups (with good form!) At the sites you can do your own max test and get your own custom rep ranges.


Week 1 Workouts:

Push-up workout 1 (in reps): 14, 18, 14, 14, max set (minimum of 20 reps). 60s rest between sets.

Push-up workout 2: 20, 25, 15, 15, max set (minimum of 25 reps). 90s rest between sets.

Push-up workout 3: 22, 30, 20, 20, max set (minimum of 28 reps). 120s rest between sets.
