Captainfantastic Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hello! And welcome to a.. That's right! We're locked, we're loaded, and we're ready to feel those biceps burn!! How many push-ups can you do in one go? 10? 20? 75? What kind of push-ups can you do? Standard? Diamond? Knee? All answers are good answers! Take a couple minutes now and try some, I'll wait... Did you do it? If so AWESOME! If not, that's ok too! THE CHALLENGE! Here it is folks: TWO AMRAP push-up sets a week! Thats it! Check in after each set with your number! No shame, just motivation and encouragement! "But Captain," you might say "I can't even do one push-up" Totally Cool! Drop those knees and get that head bobbing!! At the the start of the challenge do your first AMRAP and post along with the type of push-ups you will be doing, if you enter and don't hit your two on any given week, we'll find you! If you DO hit your two every week you will be rewarded with memes in your inbox! Best of luck fellow rebels!! See you in a few days! 2 Quote That's neat, and so are you Link to comment

Totally worth it. I'm in. Will do my first AMRAP on Monday morning and let you know the results. My last PR (done about a week ago) was 20, and I do standard pushups 1 Quote Crash || Level 3: Wandering Ranger STR: 2 | DEX: 1 | STA: 2 | CON: 2 | WIS: 2 | CHA: 1 Current Quest: "Sometimes in life you have to hit back" Previous: "Crash arrives at the Rangers Guild" \ "Tell them I'm coming out head first" Battle Log: "We can fight out way back into the light" Link to comment
Moira Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Doing this! I need to train so that I can do independent pull-ups by June 3rd. Almost every workout for my Tough Mudder training has push ups. Two birds with one stone! 2 Quote Adventurous Druid Ranger Pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice.

ChirpyBird Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 During my beginner body weight workout, I did as many as I could get up to in one go instead of the ten and got....drumroll please.....15! haha 15 knee pushups I did more in the other two circuits, but that doesn't count in the AMRAP I don't think. But yay! That's more than I thought I'd get! 2 Quote "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

Captainfantastic Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 For AMRAP as long as it's in one go without breaking form you can count it, do it until you get a number you like or take your first best number, it's up to you! 5 hours ago, ChirpyBird said: I did more in the other two circuits, but that doesn't count in the AMRAP I don't think.

I meant I did additional ones, not more than 15 lol, sorry, how I worded it was confusing. The most I did was 15. Quote "Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies."

crashy Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 My AMRAP was 21 for Standard Pushups. I must add this was after my 5x5 Bench, so I was a little tired.

Moira Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 My workout involved doing 12 pushups, 12 pullups and running 200m, as many rounds as possible in 13 minutes. So I made it through 12 normal pushups the first round and then 3 more normal pushups the second round but then the rest were knee pushups If I didn't have to do pullups on top of it I probably would have made it past 15 normal pushups. SOOOOOO on Saturday I will add an AMRAP pushups after my scheduled workout. 1 Quote Adventurous Druid Ranger Pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice.

Moira Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 20 Normal push-ups but there was a 3 min jog in between every 5 so I am not sure if it counts. 1 Quote Adventurous Druid Ranger Pain is inevitable, suffering is a choice.
