Century Push

[Rain13]

Yea 27 Nuala! Keep it up! It would be amazing if I could do 50! I'll am for 25-30 but I won't stop there! If I get to 50 I expect you to be doing at least that much

Yesterday I tried to do a push up, still couldn't go down.

Today I did knee push ups: 2, 3, 2, 2, 7.

Will start officially tomorrow. I'll do knee push ups till I can get actual push ups working.

Will be doing this Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday.

I'll come trust me I know what that's like. At the beginning of the last 6 week challenge I could only do sets of 1-3 and they were really really hard! But now I can do 10+ max. You can do it!

Oh and welcome aboard to all the new comers! Excited to have you! The more the merrier right!

[Siferiax]

Thanks I'll do my best! I just have shoulders working against me. They need to strengthen up, that's my belief.

You'll do 50! If not I'll eat a kinder bueno! And you don't want me to eat a kinder bueno right? It's bad for me your know...

@Kibcy: do your best with your shoulder, I'm sure you'll find a way to work with it, maybe by strenghtening some other muscles?

[Rain13]

That's exactly right. I don't want you to eat something bad for you... So 50 it is!

@Kibcy: Like Nuala said "do your best," but remember not to push yourself to hard and rest when you need it cause you don't want to hurt yourself

[JohnnyRandom]

All right, I am in for 100 for this next six week challenge. I didn't put it in as one of my official goals, but that doesn't mean it's not something I can't add to the mix. <gazes at floor> Ok Stain Master Green Carpet.. you me and 100 pushups. It's AWN!

Thanks, both of you That's exactly my game plan!!

I started today :]

10/12/7/7 and my max was 14.

[Nuala]

14 - 18 - 14 -14 -24

So difficult, my arms feels like wood. I'm already crying thinking of the madness of the next session. I did them along with Milythael with a 1 minute rest between each session, except for the last one. I had to take a 5 minute rest.

Note to self: on push-ups day, use MOOOOOORE deo. Like 3 times the usual dose. :|

[Ghost]

You guys are troopers, being able to keep on with these pushups.

I would go insane from the volume. On the plus side though, you would become well acquainted with the floor

[Nuala]

Come on ghost, are you sure you don't want to join us one more time in push--up madness? Today is the perfect day to do so

[milythael]

Today, with Nuala, I did 18, 22, 16, 16 with 60 seconds rest, then rested 5 minutes before a max set of 27. That was 99 push ups in 15 minutes.

[Relic]

how do you guys warm up for this?

Mornings would be the best time for me to do my workouts but my hands/wrists take so long to get warm.

[Tocho]

Okay, so today was the first day for me. It was a lot more difficult than I thought it'd be. 10/12/7/7/10.

[Chef Neem]

Today my whole family started the hundredpushups my wife and 2 daughters and 2 sons and I. Sitting at dinner my wife was saying she couldn't lift her fork.

I have put myself on the spreadsheet with a starting max of 15. I totally felt it when I was at Taekwondo working on my forms.

10-12-7-7-14 total of 50

[shortstuff]

It's getting harder - yesterday I learnt not to do them as part of my normal workout, tomorrow I do them in the morning.

[leadchipmunk]

I'm pretty sure I caught a bug today, and I haven't felt well all day. I attempted week 1, day 1, which says 10,12,7,7,(max)9. I got 10,12,7 and collapsed on my first of set 4. So, I have a new record for me, and I was unable to complete today. If I'm not feeling better Wednesday, I'm going to the 6-10 pushup range.

[Siferiax]

Nice progress everyone!!

I usually just try to get my heart pumping and my blood flowing. I have a stationary bike I use for it.

Then I just kinda swing my arms around. My biggest problem is my shoulders, so I try to get those loosened up the most.

I'll be doing my official day 1 today. I'll be trying to do real push ups, but having knee push ups as back up.

So much awesome. I would happily make another row on the spreadsheet just for your family.

I joined the challenge. Going to take the test today, and then start the program in a couple of days after resting from the initial test. I don't think I'll get close to the 100 by any means, but hopefully I'll get a bit better

[Siferiax]

I slightly died. I TRIED real push ups.. I could go down only a little and then back up.

So I did knee push ups:

2, 3, 2, 2, 5.

I DIED! There's this muscle just underneath my collar bone on the left side and it was protesting with all its worth.

It hurt so much So this was pretty much all I could manage. Not sure how to even stretch that muscle...

Sorry for the death, but you did well regardless.

Maybe, since you know pushups cause the muscle to rebel, you could do wall pushups. That way you are doing the same movements, but barely under any weight and that might be able to stretch it out.

Thanks for the tip! I'll try that tomorrow!

[Avistew]

I've had some luck holding my hands together behind my back, with my arms straight, and trying to lift them up. It seems to stretch my arms, my shoulders, my back and my chest.

For the sake of accountability, I too have decided to do this for the next six weeks. Ironically, I was going to do this before I found NF. Then I stopped to do the bodyweight workout. Now after working out for a while I feel more prepare to take on this challenge. Yesterday was my first day and I did 10/12/7/7/10.
