Wow, that's a LOT of pushups! I don't have a ton of upper body strength. I don't think I could handle it. But good luck to those who are up to the challenge!

I did the initial test today and managed 22 straight pushups, which I was fairly happy with.

Start week one tomorrow morning!

Am I the only one doing this??

I'm on level 3 (the hardest) yesterday had to do 10, 10, 8, 6 then max. Max was only 12! I was definitely sore and feel sore from it this morning but I'm excited about the challenge!

About 2 weeks ago my friends decided to have a push-up contest. The to first go got 23 (The highest for the ladies) the second was my roommate who got like 3. Then my friend got 48 and my other friend 50. I know I couldn't do one, so I jokingly went behind a doorframe and did "no-hand" push ups.

I'm definitely giving this a try so next time that happens I'll be prepared.

I'M doing this!

I have done week 1 on level 1, week 2 on level 1.

Had to go back to week 1 on level 2, now I'm doing week 1 level 3... I'm having to adapt it as I go along, to get ready for the big change in week 3...

Next week I'll do week 2 level 2, then test myself again, then hopefully week 3 on level 1.

My max right now is 12 too!

I'm a little worried, hah. I did a boxing class at the gym last night and when we were doing combination punches the trainer told us if we made mistakes we had to do 5-10 pushups at the end of every combination run.

I ended up doing about 20 by the end of the night, so no real rest for Week 1 Day 2 tonight!

ehehehe, pretty funny. Well done on all dem pushups though!

Ok, after a build up of 4 weeks, I am finally able to do 18 pushups!!!

So now I am going on to Week 3 of the program...

I would like to try the 100 push ups plan....question though: I was thinking I would do the push-ups on the opposite days as my gym days, but then if I worked out my arms the day before that would mean I dont get a rest day right? Or would you say it counts as working the muscles in a different way than weights would? My other option would be to do it before I leave for the gym.

What would you do?

You could also do it AT the gym... that's what I would do... either that, or just before or after. I DO believe rest days are important for your muscles.

I started my challenge. Unluckily for me, I played on a 100 ft. Slip-n- slide the two days before and I was SO sore. Anyway, all I could manage was 14 push-ups. They were not regular ones, but I was not up on my knees either. Hard to explain.

Anyways, I am anxious to see how this goes.

Wooohoo! I can do a whole 6 pushups now! (real ones!) That's after 6 weeks of building up to 20 knee pushups.
