    Right, I can do 30 girly ones without too much hassle. I should probably be attempting the full version, shouldn't I?

    Okay...today is the day! I did the test and ta trial run last week.

    I am starting on week three, but I plan to continue for teh whole 6 weeks. I'll complete the challenege and still do the training for 3 more weeks, so we can continue to support each other!

    Where is everyone starting? Let's give an update each time we train...kay?

    Good luck and have a great day! Don't be discouraged! WE CAN DO THIS!!!

    I started on week three column two (21-25) this morning. It was tough, I was getting tired by the end of set three and had to increase my rest to 90 seconds, rested a full 2 min before the final set of 17 and I still had to take pauses and work a couple of push up at a time after 12 consecutive to get to the 17 minimum.


    Don't forget, for a limited time only, while supplies last, get two challenges for the price of one.

    Log your push ups at the 100,000 pressup challenge. (group effort)

    :happy: I'm in - starting at week three - looks like it is going to be a REAL challenge! This is for my "off" days - not at the gym but still needing that stellar workout!

    May I remind all you arm lovers that push ups are actually a fantastic FULL BODY workout. Don't believe they work your abs? Do some sit-ups before and try knocking out your pushups! Belive me - 100 push ups is for more than just toned arms!

    Lets do this! :devil:

    I was going to do it on my knees as I can already do a lot like that, but did the full ones and managed 13 at the end, so I'll be going with the full version!

    Yikes! I just did W1D1Col 3 of the challenge and my arms already feel like Jelly! And these were just the "knee push-ups!!!" I can't image how I'd be feeling if I attempted the regular push-ups! Maybe by the time I'm done with the challenge I'll be ready to do it again with regular push-ups. I can only hope!

    * I forgot to add that I did only the minimum of 9 for the last set.:ohwell:

    My plan is to achieve 100 in the the knee position, then start it over on the regular ones.

    Completed W3,D2,C2 once again I had problems completing the 5th set continuously but did better than day 1.

    Went on to my normal arm & shoulder work out and ended with one mean burn. Something tells me my post work out chocolate milk isn't going to do squat keeping soreness away tomorrow.

    Completed W1D2C3 - did 13 for my final set. Only 1 above the maximum, but that's better than I did on D1. :wink:

    I will join in as well if it isn't too late.

    I actually started both the 100 pushup and 100 squats program about 3 weeks ago but then my mother became ill and I have been by her side every day until she passed away last week so I kinda forgot all about this program.
