Can you push 100?

100 push-ups. Or press-ups, depending on what takes your fancy, same difference. Can you do 100 in one go?

I can......'t. But I'd like to. It's a man's thing isn't it? Like asking your gym mates how much they can bench. When they reply that they don't "do" the gym what do big men like ourselves turn to? Why the press/push-up! Of course this is where we men drop to the floor and attempt in often strange worm-like fashion to perform as many push-ups as possible, as though our lives depended on it.

Fit men can perform 40 push-ups in one go..FACT! Well it is fact according to Mens Health Magazine, 1995. (Please don't quote me on that) It's a reasonable number, it shows good core strength and stamina in your deltoids, pecs and triceps. Ok so most of us may not be at that number, maybe more like 15, 20, 25? So how do we improve? Well here's how..

According to my mate Geoff http://hundredpushups.com/ is how you do it. It asks you to test yourself, by performing as many push-ups as possible without rest. Then you must compare this number to the table provided in order to find your current level and thus the suitable 3 day a week program.

It may not be scientific, it may not be pretty (if you are a push-up worm) but it's SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE AND EASY...FACT!


So drop down and give me 12, then 10, 7 and a final 6...or just follow the program above.

Happy pushing! :)
