The 100 Pushup Challenge

Hey John,
I've been enjoying your e-mails and like what you have going with your bodyweight site. I can't remember where I learned this test but it sounds like something [Michigan Strength Coach] Mike Gittleson would make us do.
It's simple enough to do and can put a 'strong' guy in his place quickly, not to mention it's a fantastic way to work your chest.
The test:
do 100 push-ups in 5 sets or less.
The catch:
every set must be done to max. reps and there is only a 10 second rest between sets. In coaching my high school kids, I've found this to be useful when they start getting a little cocky! Maybe the rest of your readers will enjoy this. Be well.
Yours in strength,
Sean
