    I just started a plank hold challenge elsewhere, but will check back here near the end of the month, looking for an August thread .... I can't do full body push-ups, and really liked the predecessor thread suggestion of "find your number / do that for one week / double up at the end of each week / see where you are at the end of the month". Hopefully, I will already be stronger from the plank holds by the time I start this in August.

    Is there going to be an August thread for this? I'd love to find a pushup check-in challenge (not restricted to pushups)

    @BMcC9 let's do it! I do push ups, squats and situps/crunches/leg raises, but would like to add planks in Aug.

    If you'll start the challenge thread (and post the name here so I can find it) I will SO be there! I will be doing a plank hold (variations) and either push-ups or tricep work.

    there are good progress plans and info-videos about plank form at the top of https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10677813/60-minutes-per-month-plank-challenge-july-2018

    They only track planks, though. So a multi-purpose thread like ours will be is great news! I have already bookmarked it.
