My goal for the month of August is to 2500 push-ups during the month. Basically aiming for 100 per day and realizing I might miss a day here or there. Who will take the challenge with me? I plan to update my progress daily.

I'm in, I'm up to 25 push-ups an hour (x8) every other day1

If like to be able to do 27 in one minute. Probably won't hit that this month...1

I trust we're all doing FULL (not short arm) straight (no butt in the air) plank push ups with the chest touching the ground at the bottom and the arms fully extended and straight (no bent elbows) at the top.
Anything else is cheating and shouldn't count towards the 2500.4 -

I am in pals. Few month ago I reached 100 Push up one shot but with my heavy weight workouts there is no place for it.1

Top of the hour 30 more (sorry far 60)0

Are people lifting weights too? I do upper body twice a week and there's no way I could do any push ups those days and feel like my arms are still worthless the day after. I can only really do them on my legs day and my day off...1

@kendahlj, I only speak for myself of course, but since I don't lift super heavy I do my push-ups and planks every night as I'm stretching and watching TV so they aren't a part of my actual daily workout and therefore, my muscles are recovered from whatever I've done that day.
However, if you lift heavy then I'd say skip the push-ups on your upper body days. Just my $0.02.2 -

I am doings 5 heavy weight heavy lift per week. Since it is not a one set push up per day you can divide them into 4 or even more sets depending on your strength. You can also do more than 100 in your rest days.2 -
Alright, just joined and said I was looking for a challenge... found this one and it is probably a bit much right off the bat, but why not... Thanks for the motivation!
Total - 20!1 -
30 more ( 90 so far)1

Good for you! Remember, the point of a challenge is to challenge yourself and not compare yourself to others. 20 push-ups is great! FWIW, I'm at 2 sets of 8, but I'm just going to keep at it and add on as I can.1 -

I'm doing some full push ups as well as variations, so they are counting towards my goal (thus I'm not considering them cheating or anyone else cheating if they do other types of push ups).2
