ZHR I sometimes find that I feel pressure in my forehead, so not quite a head ache but if I kept going it would probably start to hurt :confused: not good.
Well done SS :D Let us know how you get on
I fell off the wagon a bit with mine & have just been ticking over... In fact I am just about to start again on the challenge- I seem to have leveled out at week 4 column 2 day 3.

Re: The 100 push up challenge
it's from nothing to a really blinding headache within 30 secs - but normally when doing high intensity stuff, i.e., circuit-training.
I had thought it was forgetting to breathe, as SS says - and it might be.
But once it starts, no amount of breathing will get rid of it ...
Re: The 100 push up challenge
Time off press-ups for no legitimate concrete reason last week.
Kicked back in at the comfortable Week 4 Column 3 :)
Re: The 100 push up challenge
Starting this off again at Week 1 and Day 1.
I've not lost all the ability, I just think its harder to keep starting midway through :)
Re: The 100 push up challenge
they had us doing timed press-ups the other night: you perform the press-up on a scale of 1 (arms straight) to 5 (chest almost to floor) and hold it for as long as the instructor takes to call out the next number
it was emotional ...
Re: The 100 push up challenge
On week two day two, but... third column. In my youth (Some 22 years ago), I could do 54 one handed push ups. However, time, like girth, has crept up on me. Looking forward to challenging the young gym rat, 25 years my junior, to a push up comp at work when I hit the 100 target.
Re: The 100 push up challenge
Did start on the challenge some time ago but now have to admit 100 in a row has been too hard..........but have incorporated press-ups(25*4) and sit-ups into me training, and feel the benefit in core strength.keeps me weight down an all.:D
Re: The 100 push up challenge
Just tried to start this, and found that I can't even do 3 press ups! I'm doing them like they say on the website, starting from the prone position and lifting up, this is harder than I remember, I think I've never ever done press ups properly...
Well I think I'll do the program with the knee press ups, then repeat with real press ups after that.

I would just do weeks 1-3 from your knees and then try a max test with the proper ones. Reckon you'd be able to do well after that. Save doing a full programme on your knees.
