draconis: "I did the hundred" badge (hundred pushups)
Monday, January 19th, 2026 10:15 pm
Well, slightly past halfway through January, and doing a single set of 65 seems to be going well. I'm still huffing and puffing when I get up, but I noticed tonight that I don't have to start slowing down until I'm in the upper 50s. The last five reps seem to involve a lot less grunting and groaning, too. ;-)

I watched a training vid the other day, specifically on doing 100 pushups. As he said, getting to 100 reps isn't about strength, it's about endurance.

He recommended a couple of pushup variations (negative incline, standard, incline, kneeling) and recommended doing "point of failure" sets with those.

Anybody ever tried the "point of failure" approach? How did it work out for you?
