Anyone else properly pants at pushups want to do this with me?

Starting tomorrow. http://hundredpushups.com/week1.html

I started this last week but missed a couple of days so starting again tomorrow. I am also "properly pants" at push-ups :bigsmile:

It has been suggested that our American cousins might not understand the term 'properly pants'. Think 'totally rubbish'.

That is awesome my brother and I did that a few years ago. It gets really tough. Last year when I was at the Arnold Classic there is a pushup competition and I saw a guy do 104 pushups in 60 seconds. There is no way I could come close to that. It was awesome to see it though!

Don't know what "properly pants" means but this 100 push-up program looks cool.
I am going to give it a go.

Glad to have you both along, Carolyn and Kyle.

i am properly pants at this...is it full ones or girly ones (i can do about 6 normal ones before wanting to die... but can do more like 12 girly ones?)

i am in either way...which column are people following?

dlj1970

I can do about 4-5 proper ones or 20 knee ones...a bit pants, and definitely room for improvement. I'm in:happy:

I think I can only do one full push up but I'm always up for a new challenge. I just printed week 1, I'm definitely going to give it a try.

Just about to do mine. How'd everyone else get on today? :-)

I did this before christmas and it gets real tough, be sure to warm up really well in latter stages so you don't injure your shoulder as I
did, ouch!!! Oh and properly pants does not even begin to describe my push-ups prior to starting this haha.
For the record my shoulder crunched @ 93 reps on last test but pushed last 7 out anyway which was probably not a very clever idea lol

Day 1, column 2, 6, 6, 4, 4, 6 DONE!

I just got day 3 done today. I'm also doing the 200 situps challenge. There's good official apps for it too to tell you the days/reps and count the rest time... It'll post to facebook or twitter if you care to go that route.

krisntraining

I'm in! Thanks for the idea

I started in column 2 but it looks to get pretty tough pretty quick so we'll see how it goes.

Day 1 - 6/6/4/4/5

Day 1, column 2, 6, 6, 4, 4, 6 DONE!

well done you! I rather sadly had to do column 1, day 1...

We're supposed to take a rest day in between, so I'll do that tomorrow, and see you back on Wed?

Thanks for the tip on the app, junyr, I'll see if I can find it.

Well done to everyone who succeeded at their personal goal today.

I've been contemplating this program for about the last month, so I'm going to take this as a kick in the pants (to carry forward the analogy) to jump into it! Count me in!

Just finished Day 1; Column 3; 19/12/07/07/16

I'm going to feel this tomorrow...

lukeout007

I'm in. Just have to decide whether or not to start tomorrow or tonight (I have to do C25K week 4 day 1 tonight already).

lukeout007

Actually now that I think about it this would be a great way to alternate exercise days...C25K Mon-Wed-Fri, 100 Push-Ups Tue-Thu-Sat

uniquewrapz

I'm in I hope!

Alinabearsmom

I'm gonna do it!!! oh yeah... this is a good challenge for me!! especially because I'm "weak sauce" haha

Thanks for sharing! Gonna try this and the 200 sit ups too. Excellent!

MellyLikestoRun

Count me in, too. I've wanted to do this.

iuew

i might do this. i do 60 a day right now, but i have found that my form stinks. would rather do the proper form and actually see improvement.

SmartAlec03211988

Week two, day one tomorrow here!

MyeongHi

Count me in! I've been wanting to work on my pushups for an upcoming PT test and this looks perfect! Just did my initial test and I'll be starting on Wednesday. Thanks for sharing!

robpett2001

Week 1, Day 2, Column 3 - DONE!

I can already tell, this is gonna get tough...but that's why it's a CHALLENGE, eh?

CALake

I'm in- starting today!

... And I'm totally going to start using "properly pants" in conversation.

lukeout007

Did Week 1 Day 1 yesterday...not as tough as I thought it would be but I think it will be a good pace for me.

lukeout007

Btw there is an iPhone app available for $1.99...it's very basic but I still find it handy. Recommended if you don't mind dropping a couple bucks.

jdavison91

I am starting today! Will take the initial test and do Day 1. Picked up the iPhone app too
