I definitely, cannot, yet.. I used to when I was a teenager, but I'm working my way back up. Found "Groups » 100 Push Ups Here We Come!" and starting tomorrow 2/27 on the 6 week program found at hundredpushups.com. Feel free to join us, or at least come cheer us on!

So far there is only one other person starting tomorrow, unless you want to join in!

    I'm interested. I'm doing Insanity so I do push up almost every day.

    I can't even do 100 imaginary pushups.

    My max was 80 a couple of years back. I love a good challenge though... :bigsmile:

    I'm using a 100 pushups training program to do this, 200 sit-ups and 200 squats.

    I just finished week 2 day 1! I am doing insanity and I am also on my second week in that. Doing the 100 push-ups program along with insanity is really challenging, but I am seeing a huge difference in strength in just one week.

    I did a test the other day and did 50 consecutive pushups. I'm happy with that and don't really feel like I need to be able to do more. I'll keep it at that level (...for now...) and focus on increasing my max strength.

    I made it to Week 4 on that Challenge but then one morning I felt like I was broken and just couldn't do it. The first set killed me. Sad story so now I just try to do a few more every day and I'm getting there.... slowly and app-free.

    If I did a push up it would have to be the one's for girls and I bet I could only do 5 or so. I have a bad unstable back any ideas for exercise that will strengthen my core without hurting my back?

    In any designated time? or in just one shot? I can get 100 in about 3 min...

    I can do thirty! Give me a couple of months... I'll get to one hundred eventually.

    *ETA: Thirty in a row, I mean. I can do more if I rest in between sets, but I'd like to be able to do one hundred push-ups without stopping.

    That's a tough one. I'd be hesitant to give out any advice without knowing your physical limitations and would strongly recommend talking to a physio before starting a workout program. There are exercises that will work your core, but almost all of them engage (if not strain) the muscles in your back.

    I liked the hundred push ups site! They've got squats and tricep dips too!
