I understand why you put this thread in AE, and I let it stay here to get some exposure, but threads like this do belong in H&F.

p.s. good luck with the challenge My record is 35 straight with 15lbs strapped to my back. 100 in a row would send me to the hospital!

Thread moved.

Just thought I'd say I completed this a few months ago when I started training for the marines. I've decided to join the navy instead now.

Try it in a time limit, mate.

The Royal Marines say you need to do 60 in 2 minutes. Going by that I'd say try it in a time limit of 3 minutes 10 seconds. :rockon:

If only I knew how to do one hand pushups. I just keep falling over when I try to get in position. The right side of my upper body is a mess so two handed pushups are out of the question.

It's not your form, it's your strength!

i've found that doing push up's consistently and lifting benching/butterfly press/ etc all increase your pushup's.

I do this pushup routine its kind of like a ladder. 10-1, and then 1-10.

You never break form, you can take as long of a break you want after every number but are not allowed to break form.

starts like this: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.

i almost finished 8 on the way back up but couldn't hold it anymore.

with 1 arm pushups they are really hard if u don't spread out ur legs for balance. without the balance i could do 1-2 with my left army only.

i've been trying for years to do a 1 arm pullup/chin up. 30 was my max and i still couldn't get myself to budge. Hey i figured if jet li could do it, it should be humanly possible but somehow it still seems a long ways away.

i'm doing this...first day test was 6 pushups and today i did week 1, day 1, column 2:

6,6,4,4, 3 <---

arms felt like jelly. I'm ussing their pushups logger website to keep track instead of sosuave

The Perfect Pushup actually works, get it at Wal-Mart, its cheaper than the As seen on TV one for some reason.

 

[shock]

Ok, I'm bringin this one back.. First off, did anyone finish that started the program?? Final test, 100??

I've been doing with with my best friend the last month. I just hit week 4 this week and hit a wall.

I'm on level 3. Week 4, day 1:

21
25
21
21
27 (needed 32)

I needed 5 more to move on to day 2, but no dice. My plan of attack here is to keep on truckin through week 4, knowing I won't be able to complete all of it....and next week give it a go again in hopes of finishing. After that is another exhaustion test.

Any of you guys get stuck at all?? It's a bit discouraging. I am however doing Option A Workout. Been on for about 3 weeks. Both are probably a bit detrimental to one another... but the pushups seem to be helping a lot in the gym.

 

[S.Y.L]

I can do 75 easily, Prob more if i Really wanted to

 

[shock]

Really looking for someone who has completed the program from start to finish, and has some ideas on moving forward from my stall point. Desert Fox have you finished??
