			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well if you haven't heard by now then you aren't paying attention to the Health and Fitness blogosphere... Everyone is doing the 100 push up challenge at <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/">100 push ups</a>.   It is a 6 week training program geared toward a final test where 100 consecutive pushups are completed.  (My first thought was, "yeah right," but that was immediately followed by "That would be awesome!" I started last week and have been planning on writing a post that summarizes my experience with the challenge.  No time like the present... This post will be updated over time to reflect the results of my challenge...</p>
<p><a href="http://www.hundredpushups.com"><img border="0" src="http://hundredpushups.com/images/onehundred468x60.gif" /></a></p>
<p>First of all I should mention that I have a <a href="http://www.weightladder.com/2008/06/21/torn-peroneus-longus-tendon/">torn peroneus longus tendon</a>...  As such I am not able to take the pressure on my ankle that even a single full pushup would apply (not to mention that I am not sure how many full push ups I could have done in the first place). So I devised a plan and this post is where you can follow my progress...</p>
<p>I will be taking the 100 pushup challenge 3 times (4 if you are a literalist). </p>
<ol>
<li>1st pass through the challenge: Knee Pushups</li>
<li>2nd pass through the challenge: 1 Armed Knee Pushups (left and right at the same time)</li>
<li>3rd pass through the challenge (after my ankle is healed): Full pushups.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/test.html">Initial Test For One Hundred Pushup Program</a></p>
<p>You do as many push ups as you can do consequtively.  Depending on how you do you fit into one of 3 levels (up to 5, 6-10, 10+) of the program for the 1st and 2nd week.  (Later week's are determined by progressive testing.)</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/week1.html">Week One One Hundred Pushup Program</a></p>
<p>Based on the number of pushups completed in the initial test you are to complete the one of the following on 3 different days...  If at any point you cannot complete your level on any day you must repeat the week.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong> <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/week2.html">Week Two 100 Push up Program</a></p>
<p>At the end of the week perform another test and see which group you fit into for Week 3.  If you cannot complete at least 16 you must repeat week 2 with your new max number determining your level.</p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong> <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/week3.html">Week 3 Hundred Pushup Program</a></p>
<p>Depending on your exhaustion test you will fit into one of 3 groups (16-20,21-25, or 26+).</p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/week4.html">Week Four 100 Push up Program</a></p>
<p>At the end of the week perform another test and see which group you fit into for Week 5.  If you cannot complete 31 push ups repeat week 4 with your new max number determining your level.</p>
<p><strong>Step 6:</strong> <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/week5.html">Week 5 Hundred Pushup Program</a></p>
<p>Depending on your exhaustion test you will fit into one of 3 groups (31-35,36-40, or 41+).  Day 2 and 3 now have 8 levels and minimal rest instead of 5 and more rest.</p>
<p><strong>Step 7:</strong> <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/week6.html">Week Six 100 Pushup Program</a></p>
<p>Day 2 and 3 now have 9 levels and minimal rest. </p>
<p><strong>Step 8:</strong> <a href="http://hundredpushups.com/finaltest.html">Final Test 100 Push up Program</a></p>
<p>Take another exhaustion test. Congratulations are in order or repeat week 6 with you new level determined by the test.</p>
