One Hundred Pushups Challenge

[Bloggeries]

haha I did wii fit yesterday. I like the ski jumping.

So... I'm not doing the "plan" but I am still working out. Just did 20 going to do 15 now etc... I'm feeling better and in best shape in years.

The ski jump has to be the most adictive game on it. Attempt after attempt trying to beat the mrs's top score. arrrgghhhhh

I just did my first set and man....I sounded like a bowl of rice crispies. I did 14 push ups though. Not bad for a 30 year old guy that ways 280lbs. So, I understand that I am suppose to do 5 sets of these, right?

Hey guys. Glad to see you are still at it. I'm doing dips now when I swim, at the corner of the pool. I face the corner and go down to 90 degrees at my elbows. My score was 12 dips for my test.

I'm thinking that I will follow the 100 pushups workout program. I forgot to look at it before I got in the pool today, so I just made up the first workout. I did 5 sets of 10 each. It felt like a good challenge. I'll take a look at the pushup paper before I do it next time.

14 is great 1st time. I was 208 and I did 7 ... on my knees!

Now I can do 35 at a tie. I can also do them with hands really close and I'm down to 180 so things are good. Just keep at it and if you for whatever reason have to stop; don't totally stop just keep doing whatever works. That's what I've been doing.

I like the idea of dips. I got a heavy bar and have been doing 21 bicep curls. 7 full, 7 just top , 7 just bottom. Also doing some dips the old leaning back technique.

The real deal is pullups lol. I am good for 2 MAX as of now. I'd like to do more. Any ingenious ideas to do pullups without buying or modifying anything? I was doing them on a soccer net near my work.

I do curls every Wed. and Friday during my 60 min total body weight training. Basically it is 6 minutes of curls with variation, like you are doing Rob, plus slow and fast variations.

I wanted to do pull ups, but couldn't find a bar or a place to do them.

I'm really liking the dips. Had another great workout yesterday. Did it in the evening after work, in our pool. My sets were as follows: 10, 10, 10, 10, 15 = 55 total triceps dips. Pretty encouraging to be already making good gains over my initial max test of 12 dips.
