    So far we have 21 in our challenge! EXCITING.

    If everyone can post however much they did in their initial testing, I'll put it in the spreadsheet.

    Make sure to read the challenge here:

    I cannot do a normal push up to save my life, I can just about do the soft version (knees on the ground) but I don't think that is what the challenge is about.

    What I find is a decent technique is 2-fold. First, do knee pushups so that you can get the full range of motion and do as many as you can with this technique.
    Next, do standard pushups, but only go down as far as you can while still being able to push yourself back up. If that means your elbows only bend a little, you can eventually work your way up to being able to do full pushups...........it's an uphill battle and Rome wasn't built in a day.

    I took a look at the program and it looks great. I do BodyRock.tv a lot but a program like this will be a great supplement.

    Great Challenge ---- I'm in. I take/teach martial arts and we do push-ups every day, but usually stop at 25-30 consecutive ones. Need work on my upper body strength and toning the arms will only be an added benefit.

    initial test: 37 ----

    Inital test: 25 "knee pushups"

    I know you are tracking on a spreadsheet but how often do we check in? I'm sure it's already been said but I missed it.

    :happy:
