I'm doing real ones; it's weird but after ~5 weeks of routinely doing pushups these first sets feel like nothing. HUGE improvement from my 1st attempt involving total crackage of every joint I had in that part of my body plus a few other parts probably.

I was doing pretty good with this challenge, but I had to go away for a week and well...I'm easily distracted. I do have some arm strength, though, and I'm trying to do more push-ups regularly.

I'm just finishing week 1 day 2; 12, 12, 10,10 Max (atleast 10). Have 1 set left and then the max. Oh joy. I think it's all about going as HARD AS POSSIBLE on the max to finish. The harder you go the easier the next lessons will be. (just a theory)

Thanks for the invitation and starting the hundredpushups.com challenge Rob! It's a lot more fun to be doing it with you all.
It is fun! Did day 2 week 2 today. Not as sore this week as the first week. So there is hope for the future, if you are sore. I ranked #4 in the initial test with 26 pushups at age 52. My max for the final level five so far are: 16, 16, 17, 16, 18 |

Good work Rob! I'm a bit type A, so I'm pushing that last pushup to failure. Though I'm wondering if I will be able to continue doing Body Pump together with my pushups on Wed. and Fridays. I feel too wiped out for the triceps, back and shoulder sections. We'll see how it goes.

I"m big time type A and do it until I can't possibly do another with good form. I then hold it near the bottom and push up usually out of breath!

I'm doing the M/W/F program, since my wife Sue and I already do our weight training on Wed and Friday mornings. We've been doing Les Mills Body Pump 1-3 times a week since 2004.
Don't feel bad if you are starting out at a lower rank than Rob or me. We've been working out already, so we are along the path a bit farther. If you start with 12 and build up to 50 after six weeks, you're doing just as well as I am, if I build up to 100. However, I believe you will be able to do more than 50 and put me to shame with greater overall improvement. |
