Anyone want to do the 100 pushup challenge with me?

I can probably do 100 of the easy girly push ups. The real ones....not one. I just collapse.

I had never heard of this challenge- decided to give it a whirl! Did 14 for the initial test- my 4 year old daughter also participated. After I put her to bed, I did the week one day one- my arms and core hurt, but it is a good hurt! Keep up the good work everyone

I am in this looks like a good goal. Thanks

I started this program yesterday and decided to add the sit-up and squats to round it out. Maybe to ambitious but I like to shoot high.

I'm in. I'm starting at level 1, can't even do one full push up, the knee push ups are easy for me so I'm gonna try level 1 of the regular push ups

There's other pull up challenge sites.

And yes, it does actually cover starting out without being able to do any at all! They add a couple of weeks in where you do a lot of 'negative' ones it seems; just doing the lowering section.

Did consider doing that too, but doing a lot of indoor rock climbing anyway as it is.

bump... I might. I did it once already. it is fun!

that sounds really cool! I might do this!

I DARE ANYBODY TO DO THIS:

Put this as your FACEBOOK status: "For every 'like' this status receives, i will do a set of 10 push-ups"



I did that a few months back, expecting only 5-10 likes.
NOPE. 37 likes. 370 push-ups. I hadn't done more than 40 in a day in over a decade, but with a looming commitment that i made to the people that like my status, i had to bust them out, and i surprised myself with how many i could do in a day.

I'm in. I have never really been able to do push-ups but my upper body could use some help. I tested at level 3 and was surprised about that. Looking forward to transforming my body and my mind one section at a time. *letsgo*

Would love to but my knees kill me even doing the modified version. But good luck to all.

Oh, the pull-up challenge sounds like even more fun.. because they are way harder for me

I'd love to be able to do pull-ups. Have never actually completed one in my life (not to say I haven't tried)

how do you train for pull-ups if you cannot even do ONE?

No worries, MissJacki.....heres what you do. Stand under the bar you're going to use. Ideally, the bar should be high enough so you can grab it but your arms are completely extended. Place a chair or stool right behind the back of your knees. Bend one of your legs and place the toe of your shoe on the chair. Pull up on the bar as high as you possible can. When you get to the end of how high you can go, gently push down with your toe/shin as if you are trying to straighten your leg but the chair is in the way. In this way, you can use your leg to "help" you get your first pull up while at the same time using the smallest amount of help possible from your leg. The lions share of the work is still going to be coming from your shoulders, arms and back. You can use this technique until you can get about 5. After that don't use it. Keep doing 5 until you can do 6 and so on.

Completed Wk 3 Day 1 (I did a couple more than required on some sets and did another set of 10 at the end)

The last set of 20 was fairly difficult. Day 2 has a significant jump in numbers required which makes me a little concerned.

Did W3D1 earlier - first day for me as it started me then.
While I did them all, I think only the last 15 of 17 should really be considered 'good' form, so knocked the number down.
