The 100 push up challenge

[southernsoftie]

how about a Dips programme ??

You mean like guacamole, or sour cream and chives? Don't know how that's gonna help!!

Sounds like someone needs to go easy on the chocolate!!!

Oh, you're not wrong! Actually it's probably more of a penchant for weekend ale to be honest! Got my first child on the way next month so that should cut down on that anyway!

I'm 84kg at the moment but when I was running at my best in 2001, I was about 66kg I'll never get down to that as was only 20 at the time and I've naturally filled out, but just wondering how many push-ups I could do if I got down to say 74 / 75kg?

Right, I'm off for a run....

In fact, using the same principles as behind the 100 press ups and 200 sit ups, I'm gonna devise a more scientific programme to get us to 50 pull-ups if anyone's interested.

I'll definitely be up for that.

Cheers Southernsoftie that sounds a good programme for pull ups. Am keen for the 50 also!

Going to have to start the press ups wednesday. Was going to start this morning in the gym but some nutter got me to do his gym programme with him, never been so knackered would of done well to get 1 press up out after!

Hey southernsoftie,
I like the sound of your pull-up challenge. That's where I REALLY need help. Just got to get the press-ups, then the sit-ups, out of the way first. Now where can I find me a scaffolding pole?

My uncle in Devon works for a scaffolding company. He just ground one down for me and I stuck it in the boot!! Keep your eyes peeled for overhanging branches, internal support beams in your offices, goal/rugby posts.

The world is my gym!!

I can't even do 1 pull up

I'll stick to the push up challenge for now

50 pull-up thread now up and running.

Week 4 Day 1 Col 3
21/25/21/21/Max(33)

Less than I did at the end of week 3, but half the rest between sets. Was the hardest so far. To hit the final 33 I had to break it into mini-sets (10/10/5/4/4) holding at the top of the press for a 'rest'.

Glad it's over!
