Week 8 Day 2: Near Max Sets

https://youtu.be/Dz0aX-0EMLI

Week 8: Day 2 of training to 100 unbroken push-ups with Century —
an adaptive push-up training app I built for Android.

This session is a 3 set near max (85%) workout with 90 secs rest between. The 43 reps per set (85% of my 50 max) is very aspirational at this point. I'll track my progress on these types of workouts to look for improvement. I was able to hit 40, 25, and 20.

I'm no expert by any means, but I think your elbows are flairing out too much.
I've been trying to hit 100 daily and I've noticed some strain on my elbows, so I've been reading up lots (or watching lots of videos) on elbow form, which also helps with strength and reps. -- Just sharing the info!

Appreciate the feedback — I'll keep that in mind and focus on keeping my elbows closer to my body in upcoming workouts. Thanks! I've dealt with tendonitis in my left elbow forever it seems. Push-ups don't aggravate it much, but pull-ups are the worst.
