I am about 7 weeks into my third round of P90X and honestly, the workouts are great, but the repetition is getting to be mind numbing. I need a change... now. Badly.

I want to keep up the same level of intensity, but I just need some different goals and to stop listening to Tony Horton for at least one month.

Before I pause I need a plan. So I have been starting to make one and I think I might be onto something .

I am going to try to do the following challenges all at the same time:

http://hundredpushups.com/
http://www.twohundredsitups.com/
http://www.twohundredsquats.com/
http://www.fiftypullups.com/

I'll still be doing Martial arts for four nights a week, so I am not losing cardio at all, and the Jujitsu is more intense than the heaviest weight lifting I have ever done. So I think this might just work.

Any thoughts?

So are you on some sort of quest for vengeance?

I must be... but I haven't figured out what I am vengeful for yet. When I figure it out, I'll be prepared!

Today was brutal... My push-up sets were unbearably painful. I finished, but in agony. I tend to think most of the pain is in my head. Limits set by past experiences and a lack of will to push harder. Still... the sets are starting to get brutally large and fatigue is definitely real.

Today's Set:
29 + 33 + 29 + 29 + 40 + Total: 160

Still... in a few weeks I will need to do a lot more. The expectation is to try for:
26 + 26 +33 + 33 + 26 + 26 + 22 + 22 + 60 = Total 274

I personally don't think I can do it in the time frame that this program pushes for, but I might be able to if I pace it a few extra weeks.

Pull-ups, squats and sit-ups are no where near as painful as the push-ups... yet.

Those reps are way too excessive.

The goal is to be able to do 100 in a row. The goal is excessive, absurd, and somewhat unrealistic. But to attempt to achieve it, I can't be doing 10 or 15 push-ups at a time.

Outrageous goals must be met with outrageous effort.
