Hundred Pushups is the ultimate training program to train the body to go from just one pushup to 100 consecutive reps in less than two months -- sculpting muscles in the chest, abs, back, glutes and arms without a single piece of unwieldy equipment. If you're serious about increasing your strength, follow this six week training program and you'll soon be on your way to completing 100 consecutive pushups! Think there's no way you could do this? I think you can. All you need is a good plan, plenty of discipline and about 30 minutes a week to achieve this goal! No doubt some of you can already do 50 consecutive pushups, but let's face it, you're in a big minority. Most of you reading this won't even be able to manage 20 pushups. Actually, I'm sure many of you can't even do 10. However, it really doesn't matter which group you fall into. If you follow the progressive pushups training program, I'm positive you'll soon be able to do 100 pushups! Are you ready to take the challenge?
