rest 60 seconds between each SET (longer if required)
set 1	14
set 2	14
set 3	10
set 4	10
set 5	max (at least 15)

I really struggled with the last few reps starting with the second set. I rested a little longer than 60 seconds between sets and about 120 seconds before the last. Unfortunately I was not able to get 15 push-ups in my last set; only got 11. Maybe I should have rested an extra day since I did some clean and jerk yesterday. I will repeat this workout in a couple of days.

Total Push-Ups = 59

rest 60 seconds between each SET (longer if required)

set 5	max (at least 18)

I wasn't able to finish this workout. I really struggled with the last couple of reps on sets 3 and 4. I decided to rest 90 seconds before the fifth set, but still was not able to get 18. I maxed out at 13 :/ I will re-do this workout in a couple of days.

Total Sit-Ups = 76

rest 120 seconds between each SET (longer if required)
set 1	11
set 2	15

The first and second sets were not too bad. I definitely felt fatigued during the last couple of reps on the third and fourth sets. I was able to do 15 on my last set. I feel like the program is working.

Total Push-Ups = 59

200 Squats Training Program

So after starting the 100 push-ups training program and the 200 sit-ups training program I decided to start the 200 squats training program. The program is designed to get you to be able to do 200 consecutive squatss in about 6 weeks. The program prescribes 3 workouts a week with a day or two of rest between workouts. If you can't complete a workout you just re-do until you can before moving on to the next one, so it may take longer than 6 weeks if you have to repeat any workouts. I am doing CrossFit two times a week at CrossFit Gainesville, so I may rest more days if the WOD has squats. The first step is to take the initial test which is to see how many consecutive squats you can do. Based on your results you should follow 1 of 3 training programs. The first is for people who managed 10 or less, the second for people who did 11-20, and the third for people who did 21-30. If you did more than 30 you should skip to the third week. The same test is performed after the second, fourth, and fifth weeks to determine which program you should do for the following week. I will being posting after every workout and will be weighing myself every Saturday and posting the results.

Initial Test = 75! So I will be starting on Week 3

Sit-Ups: Week 1 - Workout 1

rest 60 seconds between each SET (longer if required)
set 1	15
set 2	18
set 3	10
set 4	10
set 5	max (at least 14)

I got through this workout resting 60 seconds between set. I did 20 in the last set.

Total Sit-Ups = 73

Push-Ups: Week 1 - Workout 2

rest 90 seconds between each SET (longer if required)
set 1	10
set 2	12
set 3	8
set 4	8
set 5	max (at least 12)

I accidentally did 11 on the first set...oops. I started to struggle on the third set, so rested 120 seconds before the last. I was only able to do 12 on the last set.

Total Push-Ups = 51

200 Sit-Ups Training Program

So after starting the 100 push-ups training program I decided to start the 200 sit-ups training program. The program is designed to get you to be able to do 200 consecutive sit-ups in about 6 weeks. The program prescribes 3 workouts a week with a day or two of rest between workouts. If you can't complete a workout you just re-do until you can before moving on to the next one, so it may take longer than 6 weeks if you have to repeat any workouts. As a side note, I will be doing CrossFit style sit-ups. The first step is to take the initial test which is to see how many consecutive sit-ups you can do. Based on your results you should follow 1 of 3 training programs. The first is for people who managed 10 or less, the second for people who did 11-20, and the third for people who did 21-30. If you did more than 30 you should skip to the third week. The same test is performed after the second, fourth, and fifth weeks to determine which program you should do for the following week. I will being posting after every workout and will be weighing myself every Saturday and posting the results.

Initial Test = 30

Push-Ups: Week 1 - Workout 1

rest 60 seconds between each SET (longer if required)
set 1	10
set 2	12
set 3	7
set 4	7
set 5	max (at least 9)

I got through this workout only resting 60 seconds between sets. I did 9 on my last set, so I might rest a little longer before the last set in future workouts. I'm hoping I won't have to repeat any.

Total Push-Ups = 45

100 Push-Ups Training Program

So I decided to start this program I found online that will have you doing 100 consecutive push-ups in about 6 weeks. The program prescribes 3 workouts a week with a day or two of rest between workouts. If you can't complete a workout you just re-do until you can before moving on to the next one, so it may take longer than 6 weeks if you have to repeat any workouts. I am doing CrossFit two times a week at CrossFit Gainesville, so I may rest more days if the WOD has push-ups. The first step is to take the initial test which is to see how many consecutive push-ups (with good form) you can do. Based on your results you should follow 1 of 3 training programs. The first is for people who managed 5 or less, the second for people who did 6-10, and the third for people who did 11-20. If you did more than 20 you should skip to the third week. The same test is performed after the second, fourth, and fifth weeks to determine which program you should do for the following week. I will being posting after every workout and will be weighing myself every Saturday and posting the results.

Initial Test = I didn't do the initial test because I wanted to jump right in and get started. I know I can do over 15 but not much more.
