    I broke a wrist 6 years ago. The "knuckle" pushup solves that problem, and isn't any harder. It's on the website.

    Thanks cmriverside,I will give those a try.

    Hi all, I'm still working on these. I haven't had much internet access lately and that will probably continue while my mom heals from her surgery. I'm going back there today till I don't know when, depends on how she is, how the weather is...
    I'm staying on week 5, level 2.

    Glad to see new people joining the challenge!
    Where is Forpar? are you still out there? DH and I got a golf membership for this coming summer. Haven't golfed in a couple of years. I'm hoping my pushups will help!


    "PRESENT!":drinker:

    keiko:
    In golf, even more important than pushups is exercise for the muscle between your ears :smile:

    Pushups will help because they strengthen many of the muscles used in the golf swing...just don't keep score. :sad:

    I haven't logged pushups in awhile, but I'm still at it - week 5, day 1. I got further than ever today -
    36
    40
    30
    24
    36 (min.40)

    Glad to see more folks out there knocking themselves out too - makes me feel less stupider.

    :explode: My arm/back is still messed up. No push ups today.
    Forpar good to see you back!
    I'm glad to see so many new people here. February's thread had slowed a lot, and I need more motivation!
    Alright I'll be back at it when my pinched nerve, or whatever it is, goes away! Keep it up!

    Okay-- so I'm cranky today I guess-- the novelty of Caleb interfering with the pushups is long gone. I asked 9yo just to keep him at bay, and out of my way. (hey, I'm a poet) And, of course, she crashed and burned....over toddles Caleb interfering with set number two-- the grandpappy of sets, 25 today-- which was already giving me fits.

    I yelled to said 9yo to get the child, so her way of then controlling him was to sit inches away from me with him shrieking on her lap to get down....yeah, sure, I could concentrate. Perhaps I would be adept enough at these ol' pushups by now to muddle through-- alas, NO. NYET. NON-- NUH-UH-- NOT!

    So, I got all grumpy, whined about how I'd kill for 5 minutes of peace somewhere in this house-- blah, blah, blah-- (take one of your favorite whines and multiply it by about 3 or 4-- there-- you have my level of frustration)

    Adding injury to insult, my wrist hurts-- could be all the typing, but my right wrist started hurting this morning. :grumble:

    I did my pushups yesterday. Week 4, day 2, lvl 1 girly
    14 16 12 12 18 (max 18)...that last set was rough. I can see already that I am going to need to repeat this week.

    Marla I thought of you while I was doing my push ups cuz my lil one was crawling all around me and I was afraid she was gonna go under or get close enough I would hit her with my elbow. Oh the joys of children!

    I'd like to join here. I just did my initial test and did 17 push ups on my knees. So I will be doing Monday, Wednesday Friday and taking weekends off (starting tomorrow) with week 1, column 3.

    Welcome yeahbuddy! I was doing the sit ups challenge but I finished. Is there still a thread going?

    No push ups today again. This stinks. My whole upper back hurts now. I'm gonna get some stretching in to see if that will help. I hope it's better this weekend so I can test....not that I will be able to do that well since I've had to take the whole week off.

    Thanks, MM. I saw that you had been doing the situps challenge but the thread ended in Feb. That's why I was wondering if anyone else was doing it because I didn't see a current thread. If there isn't one, I might just start one.

    Week 2 - Day 3 level 3
    16
    17
    14
    14
    17 (just couldn't reach that min 20)

    Exhaustion test sometime this weekend. Probably Sunday morning. Question? Do you all follow the guidelines for the breaks 60 - 90 - 120? I've been doing my push-ups on my strength training days and wondered if I could do them as part of my circuit training. That would make the breaks well above the 60 - 90 - 120. Right now I've been doing them before I start my weights.

    Wahoo I remember to do them everyday this week!!!!

    Week 4 day 3 lvl 1 girly
    16 18 13 13 25 (max 20)

    I'm proud of the work I put in this week. Since I successfully did all the sets I'm going to do my exhaustion test Sunday.
    QUESTION: So if I don't do more than 30 push ups in my exhaustion test does that mean I repeat Week 4 on whatever level I land in??? It appears that way I just wanted to make sure.

    Keep up the good work everyone.
    MM-i'm sorry you are in pain. I hope it's nothing serious. Have it looked at if needed!
