Did my 33 - 3X11. Last few were very weak (not as low as I usually can go), but this is a MAJOR improvement for me!!! I used to only be able to do 3X10 (maybe 12 on the last set), so I claim improvement.

@nu2012 - glad you tried on the last 2 to go deeper, I hope it helps.

@ucb2984 - WOW, I want to be hope to have a goal like that some day. Right now, I would like to do one pull-up. Just one. I am working on it by using the assisted machine, and also working on kipping pull-ups (which I think are more fun anyway). I still have a ways to go, but am seeing progress. Any advice would be appreciated!

@lb0030 - I am very glad your cats breath does not smell like mouse.

Ok...34 done : 7:10:17....The last few in the last set was getting way too tough!! But At least I did 17 in a stretch, when in the 1st set I gave up at 7.

Now it will get tougher with higher number of push ups!

nu2012

Just because I think we need more comments for the push-ups tomorrow...here I comment :-) again....

jdad1

push ups rock

jdad1

I try to do 100 every day

jdad1

jdad1

standard

jdad1

wide

jdad1

diamond.....or any hands together type.

jdad1

elevated legs

jdad1

single arm

jdad1

and oh yeah

jdad1

don't go down fast and then do a push up. Slow down on the way down to keep those muscles working a bit harder.

jdad1

good work everyone.

Barbonica

Holy crap - 47???

OK, here we go:

Diamond hands - 11
Wide hands - 14
Regular - 12

Wait, that's only 37. Crap, 10 more to go.....

Diamond hands - 10 OK, I didn't go down all the way on these, but I did them.

You know, for all the posts (Thanks JDad1), I only see TWO of us actually doing push-ups. :huh:

JDad1, 'fess up, have you been doing your 100 a day?

CU tomorrow!

nu2012

Woohoo!! That's a lot of push-ups!! Just did 48, 12:12:12:12. Spread into two sets over the evening. I just did normal push-ups. Once I get these right, I will go into the modifications.

I found this website about proper push-ups... http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2011/02/15/proper-push-up/ which I found helpful, so just wanted to share.

Yes, seems like it's just the two of us doing.....and still surviving!! So far..good!!

jdad1

Yes, i do 100 every night when i am at work. I admit that i am not as of yet paying much attention to the number of posts on this thread but i am doing the pushups. Keep up the good work.

And oh yeah...............i forgot to separate this post into a bunch of posts. Please forgive this terrible transgression. I humbly apologize.

Do one for me please

jennifer_417

Do it.

I am taking a break for 2 days. I worked with my trainer today, heavy lifting focus on chest, plus some shoulder work. I hit a new PR by benching 95. This is a 15 pound improvement... but I so wanted to get 100!!! Oh well, next time. At any rate, I have to take a recovery break for 48 hours. I will continue checking in, and will take it back up on Mon.

Today I included some push-ups in my warm-up:
10 regular
10 going to a T (not sure what this is called - when you do a push up and then kind of roll to one side so one arm is straight up in the air). JDad1, can you help?

@ NU2012 - don't stop! Unless you also want to take a recovery break now, in which case - please come back. I am really enjoying this challenge!

nu2012

Ok. I just did 52. 8:12:16:16. Wow!! 95 bench! That's amazing. You definitely need a break. Next time try 100!! I haven't done any heavy lifting myself...though I have been considering it. I like gym classes more, in which we do body weight and resistance band workouts...and the heavy lifting area seems intimidating.

I will try to continue....it's getting harder.....but still going!!

@ jdad1 : so nice you forgot to separate your posts in bunch of posts!! Do repeat it and follow this transgression every time!!

Believe me, I did try 100! I just couldn't do it. Amazing how heavy 5 pounds is...when you add it to 95 pounds. :-) I have been working with a trainer for quite a long time, but just added true heavy lifting to the work outs less than 6 months ago. He really keeps me focused on proper form so I don't hurt myself.

they are called T-pushups i believe.

nu2012

Even I had to take a two day break. I start again Monday.....

Barbonica

I'm back!

15-15-14-7-7 Just couldn't get that through that last set without a break. But, got my 58 - and this is an improvement from a couple of weeks ago!

@ JDad1 - thanks for the name of the T-pushup!

@ NU2012 - hope to see you back as well.

Let the games continue!
