    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:

    Iamkim73 - I want everyone to check in at the end of every week (SUNDAY), with the top number of consecutive pushups done. I'll be checking in myself randomly...

    If its not too late, I'm in too. I was thinking of doing this on my own but I think the motivation of a group will help me stick with it.

    Initial test - 9

    just curious for the ladies-

    Sure ya'll can join! Just email me or post here your initial test score, and make sure to follow the program at:

    http://hundredpushups.com/

    Jojowink - There are people doing both 'man' and 'woman' here. I'm doing the harder version, but if you want, you could always complete the program doing 'woman' then do it again doing 'man'? Basically we're just a support group to help us all get through the challenge. =)

    According to the program you shouldn't do the "exhaustion test" every week. You should just be doing the pushups for days 1,2, and 3 according to the program. At the end of week 4 then you will do another test to see how many pushups you can perform so that way you will know what level to be in for week 5.

    Stick with it and you'll get there.

    I've finally reached the point that I'm doing 100 every other morning. I don't think I kept track of when I started but I'm pretty sure it's taken me more than six weeks. Of course, I started out only being able to barely squeek out 1 with really bad form. Now it's 100 with good form!

    I've been doing the pushups app on my phone for a few months now and it really works. I started out only being able to do 10 in a row and now I can do about 50 in a row. ("man" style. haha) Do it every other day and you will see results!

    Well, yes James, that's when you do the 'exhaustion test', but your fifth rep is the max amount of pushups you can do. That's what I'm asking for... Whatever day you do the most. Get it?

    It seemed like you were asking for a "max # of pushups" every week. To me that is an evaluation instead of what your final number of pushups is on the end of your sets.
