Any one would like to do the 100 Push-up Challenge? If so, join in! I started last year but didnt complete it.

So here I'll post the same info that Sweatpea posted last year. Here is the link: http://hundredpushups.com/

This is a 7 week challenge (you might have to go a little longer if you have to repeat a week or two).

(But Anyone may join at anytime! The more the merrier Adjust the dates to work for you.)


You can post whatever statistics you like and set up mini-goals to add to these. Copy the following if you like:

Push-ups: (type of push-ups)

Add any other stats you would like to track as well over the next 7 weeks. Feel free to leave any stats out too - I don't want this to make you feel uncomfortable (except for maybe while doing the push-ups!)

The push-ups should take place 3 days of the week. For example: on M - W - Sat.

I'm gonna DO this! I can do it, I know I can. It may just take some time.

btw which style of pushups will everybody be doing ?

Thanks for the reminder, I'll add that to the original post. I'll be doing "Lady" Push-ups. I tried full push-ups last time and I think maybe I bit off more than I could chew.

Well it doesnt look like anyone is interested right now, Tru. Maybe I'll repost later this year. I'm still going to do it and then maybe repost when I'm ready to do full push-ups.

Im in!!!

I read about this sometime ago but forgot all about it!!

I'll do my initial test tonight at the gym and post how I got on

hey lilly, it might be a small number of pple in your challenge but i think more will join over time

100 push-ups? At once? In a row? Without stopping?

I don't think I could've done that while I was in my best shape. But, maybe I could do more than I used to. I mean, I've had years of extensive training through rigorous back and forth motions while....umm...eh, nevermind. Forget I said anything.

I'll join you. I just happend to do some push-ups today... 11 of them. Sheesh, to think I used to be able to do 85 in one shot. Then again, I was 175 pounds at the time and I'm 314 at the moment

Push-ups: "Good-Form"
Initial test (02/21/09): 11
End of Week 1 (02/28/09):

End of Week 5 (03/28/09):
End of Week 6 (04/4/09):

* I'll have to edit in these stats when I can get my hands on a soft measuring tape.

Thanks for joining me!


I think your right Tru.

lmao @ Chef, practice makes perfect

85? Thats pretty good, the most I've done (as far as I can remember, old age kickin in lol) was about 25-35 (full push-ups) and basically that was the minimum I had to do to get out of bootcamp lol

Thanks again guys for Joining me.

"Skip, skip" huh Tru? Must be nice lol. I totally bombed the 1st week so I'm starting over.

How is everyone else doing?

I'm in with lady pushups!

Initial test (March 1): 8 - hahahahaha, I blame the fact that i've only just got back from the gym!

End of Week 1 (March 8): 13 - a little improvement!!! Better than nothing!!!
End of Week 2 (March 15): 22 - wow! That's more like it!
End of Week 3 (March 22):
End of Week 4 (March 29):
End of Week 5 (April 5):
End of Week 6 (April 12):

Final Test Week 7 (April 19):

Welcome aboard.

I've actually wondered if it's better to do push-ups right after a workout when you're all warmed up or before a workout, before you're all tuckered out.

I have been doing my pushups as a warm up before bench press day at the gym

I think this sounds fun! I recently got serious with pushups again, that is, not escaping them as much and trying to see them as "fun"

I'll return with my initial test results soon!
