It seems the onehundredpushups thing is quite the internet fad at the moment, I’ve seen lots of blog and tweats about it.
Today was the secound day of week one, and I managed to complete it while doing a total of 59 pushups. (12, 12, 10, 10, and then maxing out with 15). It was a lot harder than day one, and I think I was still feeling the effects of that, so I’ll probably be stiff tomorrow.
I’ll be doing the next day on Friday, hopefully I can complete week one without having to repeat it.
You should be ok, what makes it more bearable is definitely the increase in rest-times. I did week 2 day 1 yesterday and noticed a marked improvement straight away (maxed at 20 in my final set after starting at 14 on my initial test).
When you look further ahead however, week 2-3 and 4-5 are really scary transitions (granted that you do get retests so it naturally re-calibrates you). But going from ~10 pushups to 100 in just 6-weeks is gonna require some pretty hasty improvements.
Hope the repeat week goes well for you!
Good luck,
