Drewsten Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I just managed 40 push-ups! It was intense, I was really straining to do that last one to 40, I don't think my body could of done one more. I've been doing push-ups everyday for a while now and I can see very clearly that I'm improving. It was only last year that I struggled with 10 push-ups. I'm quite pleased with myself. My next goal: 50 push-ups. Perhaps one day I'll get to 100. Quote Yellow Belt in Push-Ups Link to comment
Blazedge Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Congratulations Drewsten! That's no easy feat. Reaching the elusive number of '100' is what us monks would call obtaining a black belt. If you haven't looked into it yet, check out the Push Up challenge that we have going on right now, here.

srkelly Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Congrats! The thing that helped me most with pushups is keeping my 'perfect pushup' handles out in the open at all times. I'll randomly see them and be reminded to knock out a set or three, and they allow for a very deep and more natural wrist movement as well.

cr8on Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Awesome! I just did a few sets on my perfect pushups before I checked this site. Congrats on reaching 40, friend! I'm working towards 20 right now. Quote Link to comment
Armada Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 DREWSTER, you are no longer a yellow belt! Grab that green and change your sig. Keep working and you will have 50 in no time. Quote Previous Challenges: 1Pushups: Green Belt Link to comment
