I'm falling behind. I manged to get myself kind of "run-down" over the last week, including getting over heated putting an engine in my boat all day Friday in the 90 degree sun. I did my 5x5 workouts Monday & Wednesday, feeling better now. Did 15 this morning, will pick off more a little bit at a time. Clearly not going to achieve 2500, but I am glad I joined this challenge, & met all of you.2

Ok, I'm done! Did my 100 pushups today - - 50 standard plank and 50 decline wearing a 15# vest - - for a total of 2500
It was hard taking the time to do that many each day especially since I added things in to make doing them more interesting and challenging, like the 2500 weighted and unweighted squats that I did along with them, but it was well worth it.
I can see/feel a pump in my pecs, definition in my delts and firmness in my triceps that weren't there b4 and I'm going to continue doing them as part of my regular workout routine - - just not 100/day.
I think 50/day or 1500/month will be more than enough, especially if I increase the difficulty by doing declines and adding weight and/or including them in mini-circuits w/squats, GHRs and curls as I have been doing.
Thanks OP for starting the challenge and getting me motivated in this direction.
Now I've got to finish the 100,000 meter Concept 2 rowing challenge for August.
Have to row 20,000 meters today to do that. Gotta get moving . . . LOL!!!
Ciao!

I know that I started this challenge, but I am done...my final total for the month was 2000 push-ups.
Congrats to sgt1372 who rocked it, and to mbaby86 and Savyna who have done great, as well as all the others.
What would be a good challenge for September?1 -
