Ok we'll let you off.

So whilst we do the 3 times per week work-out, are we meant to do a max test at all other than the final 100 at the end of it all?

Re: The 100 push up challenge

I was once challenged into doing some pushups by the guys that ran the gym where I taught a yoga class... I was able to do 36, and could have gone on, but they said I had proven my point that I did not need to work on my upper body strength...

We had this push up challenge on fetch a few months back and I was going to join in, but promptly dislocated my shoulder and have not been able to do a thing upper body wise since then.

Inspired by this thread, I just tried again... and was able to do 6... which is good news... so lets see if I can build it up again... :) Mind you, I will do it my own way, not like they do it on that site. I will come on here once a week to give you an update on my porgress...

You'd best start the thread then eh!

I just tried to do a few but it felt like my stomach muscles just snapped - bit sore from what the physio had me doing.:o

Since the start of this thread (which has mentioned sit ups) I have found myself doing a few as this was my forte. Last years bike crash has not put my left shoulder in strong contention for a press up challenge although I have had a go..............Damn you Heathens (the poster, not the rest of you!!).

Re: The 100 push up challenge

You could actually incorporate sets of push ups on a fell training run. Every mile get down and do 25. Only the sheep to see you............

I quite like that idea, but my hands would be covered in sheep shit by the end of it...

I am also challenged on the pushup front because of my shoulder...

Re: The 100 push up challenge

Started doing some circuit training last week:

Set 1 – 1 pullup, 2 pushups, 2 dips, 5 situps Set 2 – 2 pullups, 4 pushups, 4 dips, 10 situps….
Keep going up the pyramid to set ten
Set 10 – 10 pullups, 20 pushups, 20 dips, 50 situps
Then repeat in reverse order back Set 1

Did up to Set 5 and then back down, giving 25 pullups, 50 pushups, 50 dips, 125 situps.

Ached like ten men the day after, but going to persevere and see if i can reach Set 10 before i cark it:eek:

No rest between sets:rolleyes:

Does the amount you can do correlate to how good you are at sex?

We've been doing that at swimming - 100m efforts then drag yourself out of the deep end and do 10 press-ups and repeat...

Either you have your own pool or you and self-consiousness dont meet much.
