took me 14 hours...

Actually, I haven't worked out consistently since mid September. This is a kind of a good idea.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Good job.

Anyone try the onehundredpushup.com challenge? I've been doing it on and off for over a year. Good way to build up you push ups.

My daughter challenged me I couldn't do 100 in a row

If I did, she had to clean the house.... if I didn't, I had to take her to a movie.

I did 103 and still ended up taking her to a movie!

 

[flatlander51]

103!!! That's impressive!!! I'm gonna start tomorrow, anyone else wanna jump on the New Years ban wagon?

 

[Aron Snyder]

I was in trouble a lot in the Army.... lots o practice!

I held my class record at my academy. 100 even. I always do a lot of pushups daily anyways. Body weight excercises are often overlooked. Its a great way to build up and not injure youself.

I agree completely!

I learned real quick that if you wanna be in the Tripple digit club, you better be focusing on push ups and not as much on max bench #'s.

92 last PT test. Can't break the magical triple digits. Never been able to do it

Last year 2012, I set a goal to get a thousand push-ups a week, I kept track and wrote them in my workout journal everyday. I ended up with 53,800 for the year. I did a bunch of different workouts, pyramids, 25-15-10 every 2 minutes for 20 minutes, I do Insanity 3-4 times a week, I kept track of the push-ups in the workout. I would superset 20 sets of 20 push-ups and 20 40 yd sprints. It was fun as a goal to do that many and keep track of them. Didn't keep track of them this year, I did quite a few, but not nearly as many. Needless to say when I was doing them my bench did not go up, I didn't look any different, but I could do a shit ton of push-ups. I think I'll get in on this, it always made me feel good mentally to know that I had done my push-ups everyday.

I am up to the 40 for the 4th day of the month. This is on top of other WODs for the day. Should be a good add to workouts.

 

[Travis1984]

I've been doing this for the Month of January...every month kind of a different challenge. Up to 90 today!

 

[Travis1984]

Still going strong....month is halfway done. Busted out 150 pushups today. My co workers were mocking me telling me I needed to do "military style" (they are ex marine, navy, chair force) which is "3 count" which is basically 2 pushups for every "1" count.

 

[littlebuf]

i was pushing up steel and concrete forms all day today. does that count?

 

[Travis1984]

Yup. I imagine you did more for your body strength today working then I did doing pushups...

 

[littlebuf]

yeah, its nice when i get to put my bags back on. especially during the off season like now. normally im running work but for the last 2 months ive gotten to just be a carpenter/iron worker again. makes me realize what a crap job being the boss is. i love just working hard for 8 and letting someone else have all the stress while i get a paid work out

 

[Travis1984]

Still chugging along...yesterday was tough. Was mentally just not into it. Powered through anyways...220 done today. Up to 2530 for the month!

 

[Travis1984]

Finished today! Did the extra forty to make it an even 5k pushups for January. NEXT month is same routine, for air squats, burpees, crunches, planks!
