100 pushup challenge
Replies

Just did my Day 1 - struggled, they weren't perfect, but muddled through! Very proud...more than I thought I would be able to do during that time span. i did the 60 seconds of rest in between, except I rested for 90 seconds before trying my max...I am shooting to do one more than it says for the max. I recently started exercising after not doing so for a very long time, so I am hoping that as I improve in other areas of my fitness, my push ups will begin to look better. I am really excited about this!!

I think I am going to take more than 6 weeks too...I was reading through the rest of week 1, and it does say if you need to repeat a week that is fine.
I am doing the "man-style" pushups, and I seem to always bottom out going down. So, I plan on repeating week one since I am just getting back into working out and exercising.
I just completed my day 2 of week 1, and it did go pretty good...a little better than day 1. Still working on it!0 -
Finished week 4 day 2 today. I am on the level 3 program. Completed 25 + 29 + 25 + 25 + (52 on final set) = 156 total pushups

I did part of this challenge for a while last year and noticed significant improvements in just a couple of weeks.
I just downloaded the app so I can hopefully stick with it and track it easier. I'm starting at 12 unmodified based on my initial test. Good luck everyone!0 -
CHECKING IN .... day 3 finished at my max of 16 (modified). Looking forward to week 2!!! Where is everyone?!?!!0

Hey there! My initial test was 3 modified pushups. Week 1 Day 1 max was 4, Day 2 max was 6, and Day 3 max was 8!!!!! Sooooooo excited about my level of increase! Still doing modified pushups but hey,it's more than I could do before!
Good luck everyone this coming week!0 -

Aw, sorry to hear that! Glad that you're walking though...
Much better on the knees. 0 -
And as of the end of Week 2, I'm up to 10!! (Small victories) AWESOME! I'd say up from 3 is a big victory! Keep it up.:drinker: 0

I've been sick, so I didn't do anything this week! Sorry to say I'll be doing week two over... But I'm not giving up!!!
How'd everyone else do this week?0 -
TOTALLY with you!0
-
I'm gonna try it!0

I'm doing this, too. I got away from it for a bit, so I restarted on Week 3 last week. I got through that and did Week 4, Day 1 yesterday. Gonna move on to Week 4, Day 2 tomorrow.
Back when I was in my best shape ever, I was doing 400 pushups a day. At eight different times of day, I'd drop and do 50. I wanna get back to being that guy again. Even if I don't ever get to do 100 in a row (as the program promises), if I can get back to doing my 50x8 thing, I'll be a happy guy.
Good luck, everyone! 0 -
I might give this a good try actually. Im in ROTC and can do 72 in a row right now. Boy would the cadets jaws drop if I did 100!0
