ysabet Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Right, I'm joining in. I'm doing it with knee pushups, because I am still rehabilitating my shoulders and thoratic spine. Initial Test puts me at a max of 6, so juuuust squeezing into Rank 2. I'll be pushing monday-wed-friday (probably). Although this week I'll try and squeeze another in, since I'm starting a wee bit late.Today, I did 6-6-4-3.5-4.5I couldn't get up out of the last rep on sets 4 and 5, which is why the .5.

Siferiax Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 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.Oh wow, thanks.

Nuala Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Push-up TimeNew lyrics for Business time of Flight of the Conchords (kinda explicit lyrics) Guys, today we’re gonna do some pushups You know how I know? Because the challenge is on And for six weeks we're gonna do some pushupsLast week, we were still challenge free But today is a challenge day And for six weeks we're gonna do some pushupsIt’s when everything is just right, Conditions are perfect.There's nothing good on TV, Conditions are perfect.You sighs and try to tell yourself “I may do them tomorrow, I’ve already got a workout scheduled in the morning†But no matter what you think, guysYou can only say: Oh, yeah It’s pushups time, it's pushups timeIt’s pushups , it’s pushups time I know what you’re trying to say You’re trying to say it’s time for pushups It’s pushups time, ooh It’s pushups , it’s pushups timeThen you’re reading the century pushups thread And cry seeing the daily numbers. Crazy numbers.You do some light warm-upThat isn’t part of the challenge, but it’s still very important Then next thing you know, you're lying on the floorHands on your side, ready to push the floorYou won't let some mere pushups scares you!You start pushing strongly!Synchronizing your breath with your pushupsAfter a while that's not enoughAnd you crash loudly on the floorWhat time it isIt’s pushups , it's pushups time You know when you're lying on the floor it’s time for pushups That’s why it's called century pushups challenge It’s pushups , it’s pushups timeDoing pushups, doing pushups for Doing pushups for two, Doing pushups for two minutes When it’s me, guys, I can't even last 2 minutesBecause pushups are so hard. You look at the next numbers and you say, “That will kill me!†I know exactly what you feel guys. You’re the same as me, you want to say: "that’s it!"But you know we will do some moreWell, at least when we will be less soreIt’s pushups , it’s pushups time Pushups hours are over, guys!It’s pushups , it’s pushups time20 - 25 - 15 - 15 -26Don't even know how I managed to do them.

danthemcmahan Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 week 1 day 2: 10/12/8/8/13. So far I'm finding a theme after the second day (so the theme could change quickly). When I go for the max at the end, I get to the minimum and do one more before I start to lose complete control of form. I might try waiting longer before the max, but after 90 seconds I just want to get back on the ground and do some push ups. Link to comment

Siferiax Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 3, 4, 2, 3, 4+??? Sounds like I have a fun day ahead.Especially because my shoulder got twisted or something?! I don't even know what happened, but took me a while to get it sorted out again.So good start of today.... I don't wanna think about the push ups.

Avistew Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Tell me about it, Kibcy. My initial test got 11, and my first two sets are supposed to be 10, 12. I'm already not sure I'll make it that far, let alone 3 more sets. But the only thing we can do is give it our best! Link to comment
Ocelot Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm going to have to skip day 2. My arm is sore and I can't even do one pushup today.

Avistew Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Good luck, ocelot. It's just a setback. You'll still make more progress than someone who didn't sign up at all. Missing a workout sucks, but it's only really bad if you let it get to your head. Link to comment
Nuala Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 If it's just soreness, try to run around with your arms ups, shaking your hands (screaming like crazy optional ) you need to make your blood running. To my experience, you may keep your arms sore for a few weeks. It's not nice (in a graaahhkillmekillmekillmenaow way) while doing push-ups but it's totally do-able. Aslo, do you stretch after your sets? It's really really really important, it saved my arms many times.Of course if it's something else than soreness. Rest more, I don't want my team adversary to get hurt Nuala, level 13 Robot mistress of pain, Assassin Guild leader First journey: The Rise and fall of an Assassin #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13 Second journey: Crawling back #1 Link to comment

Avistew Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 10, 12, 7, 7, 11.I did it! The sets of 7 were the hardest for some reason. Although I did rest longer before the set of 11 because I knew I had struggled with 7, so getting more than 9 was going to be a challenge.My wrists are a bit sore, now, but I'm pumped up for more working out! I think I'll go out for a walk. Link to comment
