One hundred pushups

[petemyster]

I always fall 2 pressups short of the "final section" for each day, I have to rest for 3 seconds (column 2, week 3)

 

[shadowcreaper]

i did 101

useally i can do 75 press ups and i about 75 kgs.

guy in the marines did the world record about 120 something in a min

Second day doing this, so week 3 day 2. Managed to do it all and 21 in my last set, so a better result. Rested longer than 90s, but not too much so I think it's ok

Think Im going to start the situp one tomorrow from Week 1. Well I havn't done the initial test yet, so I might be better than I expect.

Anyway, is it safe to try the press-up one on the days inbetween? Do both for 6 weeks and see how I get along?

Just starting the Pressups one, got 20 (although I did aim for 20 but unlikely to have been able to do more than a couple more) for the initial test and so was tempted to start at week 2, but i've decided to start at week one, and then move on to week 2 if it is too easy.

I've also decided to do the situps on the rest days so will be starting on week 3 for that tomorrow. Interesting to see if I can finally keep it up...

Just started my first week off today. I couldnt do it right away after the initial test as the muscles across the front of my shoulders were a bit sore, i kinda knew id have to break the muscles in again, i suppose thats what i get for wasting away behind a desk all day. Anyway, the mission has launched, i'll post back over the weeks/days and report how im doing. Im looking forward to the meaner stuff GRRRRR lol. At the moment im worried about pulling muscles more than anything.

 

[Thomas. PLease.]

I used to be able to do about 50, not sure what I could do now, I am unfit.

Edit: 29, I suck

Going to give this a go alongside my normal fitness routine which is mostly cardio based with a few free weight sessions a week - I'm a road cyclist.

Started the situps one on Saturday and pushups one today.
The situps were rather easy (week 3 column 3) and the pushups (week 3 column 2) weren't too difficult.
A pain getting up early to do them before going to the gym though!!!

We know that your a Roadie from the Bike Thread Apart of the minority

 

[atpbx]

got a vid of you doing those speed pressups? i always find them funny because they dont look to be normal ones

They are the correct technique, we used to get kicked in the ribs if were not doing it right.

I've been doing this a few weeks now after easing in at week 3. Just done the exhaustion test at the end of week 5 and managed 79. Haven't had any problems sticking with column 3 but even so, as I start week 6, I don't think the 100 is going to be possible in a weeks time.

So, newbies (like me), you did the trial on Friday, today is Day 1. Who has done their push ups?

 

[Irish_Tom]

Right I did my exercises tonight - totally knackered now.

I did week 3, column 3, day 1 for Press ups and week 5, column 3, day 1 for situps and squats.

I did them sequentially so set one of each exercise then set 2 etc to give myself a break for each exercise.

Just about recovered now.

I started tonight too, did column 3 on week 3. Wasn't too hard but I've got a feeling that by week 4/5 it's gonna get tough as there's not a lot of breaks

 

[Sutters]

Did 45, but i've been doing 40 - 50 regularly for a while just for fun. Never been able to do more that 50 at once, maybe because im quite tall and have long arms, i dunno, im not really heavy though either.

Hopefully ill get to 100 one day on this.

 

[Andr3w]

I haven't started this yet, mainly because i have been enjoying my week off too much....inc beer + burgers

However i go back to work on monday so i will be starting with this sunday night. Do you guys bother with a warm up or strech?, or just go straight into up

 

[Dr.EM]

Week 3, day 3, column 2. Did all and managed 23 for last set. Is a bit hot for this tho

I should go onto week 4 or week 3, column 3 next?

 

[Nix]

Did the first day of Week 3, column 3, and my word, I did struggle towards the end.

I think I'm going to rinse and repeat in a couple of days until I can do all the sets without any issues before I begin to move on.
