Loving the idea of a group challenge, it gives you even more incentive to meet the targets then just doing it on your own. Did everyone in the group manage to complete the challenge? I did mine a few months back but planning to start again to get that toned feeling back!

Got a few days behind this week, but Week 1 Day 2 ended up at 5,6,4,4, and max 13!! I've resigned to the fact I'm going to do most of this from my knees, but when it's over I'll start again with the full-form pushups.

How's everyone else doing?

Meh. Day 3. 4,5,4,4,9(max). Still on my knees with the pushups I think I'm gonna do Week 1 over again and shoot to do them on my feet.

Week 1, Day 3 DONE. 11,15,9,9,13

Better form, didn't hurt as much, but was still pretty hard. I had to break up my counting to 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5 in order to trick myself.

Week 1, Day 3: 11,15,9,9,10 (I couldn't do the minimum 13!!) I'm debating doing Week 1 over again? I am the only one?

Week 1, Day 2: 10,12,8,8,12(the min) I think I had to compromise my form to finish those last few, but I did 'em

Day 2 complete. 3,4,2,3 and max out at 10. All knee push ups. I need to do as many "real" ones as I can in the earlier sets. Found that going into the yoga/pilates child's pose is a good way to stretch out the shoulders between sets.

Thanks for the visuals CDX, my friend Marlene posted a video of herself doing her pushups with a small dog on her back.. I need to figure out how to get that off of Facebook.

Thanks for evening out the week Alan! Gunman, I think a few of us are regretting going for the gold on the initial test. I'll definitely take the next test a LOT easier.

For everyone doing this, yesterday killed, but today I feel fine.. I think it's because I stretched out a few times. Join your hands behind your back and raise them up as high as you can get them. Do this a few times and the post-workout day should be a little easier.

Initial exhaustion test: 15.

Might have been able to do another 2 or 3, but wanted to build in the program a little more slowly. I haven't done any upper body work aside from occasional digging in the yard with a shovel for a long time.

I'm doing it Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays - just to even out the week for you guys.

My initial test was 23. So, I screwed myself and had to start at Week Three.

Just did Week Three, Day Two. 14, 19, 14, 14, MAX (which was about 21).

yesterday was Week 1/Day 2 for me: 3/4/2/3/10
I think I'm figuring out that I need to rock it and not do just the minimum in each set.
DEFINITELY feelin the burn! This is awesome, thanks Jon, needed something like this to get motivated :)

Sure thing V you can do whichever you choose!

Wait you can do these as knee-pushups!? Maybe I should be doing that instead, then if I get to 100 start over again with regular ones?

I dunno I did Day 1, Week 1 today 2/3/2/2/3 as regular pushups and did ok.

You're seriously asking if there's a prize? You want to be rewarded for getting in shape?

Re: One Hundred Pushup Challenge

Jeremy Pepper — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:47:30 -0000

So, is there a contest? A prize? Where's the motivation for me?
