One Hundred Push Ups – About Eleven Weeks In
How do I say this? Let's go with FAIL. About the first week of August, 28 coworkers and I started doing push ups using the original One Hundred Push Ups plan. The idea was for the group of us to get to 100 push ups in six weeks. Some never started. Almost everyone quit within three and a half weeks. I kept going, but wasn't making very much progress. Then after eight weeks, we had a big 'everyone do as many push ups as you can' thing, which was kind of crazy and only six or seven people took part. I did 44, though my high had been 47. No one got to 100 but two folks got pretty high. And then I quit for about three weeks. Recently I've started doing one set a night of a little less than as many as I can. I bet a coworker I'd eventually get to 100 (one year max) and I've still got about 10 months to get there, so hopefully I can make slow but sure progress up the ladder. Or maybe I'll just quit again. We'll see.

You can do it, but it’s not going to be easy. I started at 30 pushups and I’m up to 90. Hoping to break 100 next week.
The key IMHO is determination, persistence, and continuing to follow the program routinely.
