I saw a closed post on here about a hundred push up challenge... I want to do it too! The training seems pretty straight forward! I am starting on Monday. There is a test to help you determine where to start on the training...by the end you should be able to do 100 consecutive push ups...pretty impressive!

Who's in! Not to pressure you...but I think most of my "friends" will join the challenge!!!!!!

    Why not, I'll give it a try. The most I've done (many years ago) was around 25ish.

    I want to do this. I started the 30 Day Shred last night and was totally ashamed about the form and amount of push-ups I can do. I will start tonight. I love how the site tells you exactly how many to do in each set. This is great. I will check in tonight and tell ya how it went!

    Not sure how I will work this into my workout schedule but will give it a try.

    Here is another push up based challenge that could use the numbers.

    I'll have a go. I do the cheaty girly ones at the moment, as I can do about 25 of those, whereas I can only do 10 full ones.

    I'm in, I'm in. A real challenge - I suck at doing push-ups. Can barely do one (whatta loser, I know! :wink: )

    Can't believe I'm saying this... but I'd like to join too!

    I'm debating whether I'm going to do "knee pushups" or regular pushups. My upper body is pretty weak. Hmmmm....which to choose...


    ************************************************************

    Okay, so I just did the test and was able to do 1.5 regular pushups with good form :grumble: - I was still able to do 12 knee pushups afterward with good form... so I'm making it official.

    I will be completing the 100 push-up challenge on my knees! :smokin:

    I"ll definitely join! I've been trying to improve on my pushups anyway. I'm at about 15-20 good pushups right now, but I have not been very disciplined about consinstency.

    Yippeee!!! Let's officially start on Monday, kay? I might do one of the sessions today and one on Saturday, just to see how it goes.

    I am also concerned about fitting it in to my workout schedule. I don't want to do it the day after upper body...or the day before. I might do it on upper body days, that 2 times per week (Mon and Thurs) and on Saturday which is a cardio day. I think I'll do it those days, after I warm up, but before I do my actual weights.

    It does say what to do to move up from knee ones right? If not...just start on week one and do that the best you can for a couple of weeks!

    I went on and read the final challenege, just to see what to expect! I can't wait!!!!

    Debbie, you are my friend either way...but DO IT!!!!

    Don't forget to do the test to see where you are supposed to start!!!
