Week One, Day One

Here's the update on my first day of the hundred pushup challenge.
My baseline test was a maximum of 21 consecutive pushups, so my sets/reps for today were as follows
1 - 10 pushups
2- 10 pushups
3 - 8 pushups
4 - 6 pushups
5 - max pushups able (minimum of 7)
with 60 secs rest between sets

I achieved sets 1 - 4 ok although I was feeling a little sore from my weight training the day before. Not sure how I'd go with set 5. However yesterday obviously really wasn't my maximum as I managed to push out another 22 pushups in a row - after doing 34 over the previous 4 sets! (Thats a total of 56 pushups for those who are mathematically challenged!)
Bring on the rest of the challenge! (Although I am a little sore - don't know whether its the pushups or the workout from yesterday)
