    No clue...had planned on 6 months and 235-225...so I got close. Maybe go a few more months to make up for broken ribs time.

    So...mostly push-ups. 100 a day for two months. Right in the middle of the six months I broke two ribs and couldn't do anything. After that I started 100 push-ups a day. Added in bosu ball so now I do 100 bosu ball push-ups a day.
