Conquering pushups! One.. pushup at a time..?

Okay so I was doing the hundredpushups.com program which I think is GREAT.. BUT.. I have an AF PT test coming up soon, and I would like to be able to max out my pushups to receive as many points as I can from that category (that would be 47 pushups). So, I decided to start doing three sets of max pushups (until muscle failure). Well.. Tuesday, my three sets were 13, 9, and 3.. poo!

Today, my three sets were 15, 12, and 8. Granted, I rested two minutes in between sets (recommendation from my husband), but still it is a great improvement for two days! I have about two months to reach my goal of 50.. I think I can do it!

Haha, thanks! Believe me, before I joined the Air Force I couldn't do one single pushup! And barely one off my knees!

I can't do a single push-up either. I keep trying. Maybe one day it'll happen. Good on you for managing almost 50!
