Egads, I can't even hardly do 8 of those.

Slacker! :D
If I'm going to be the one humiliated Week 5 watching yellow crack out her 60 full studette push-ups while I'm struggling through the "at least 30" bench-style, ANYONE can do this.
I think I'll just quietly sneak out of the room when she moves onto her handstands . . .
I am in...starting Monday.
I've printed out the program, did the initial test, and have it pinned to the wall in the bedroom. Monday sounds like a good time to start.
I'm starting at level 1.
Just think how strong we'll all be!
I'll be right there. Gotta finish this donut.

Just put the donut on the floor in a strategic location for inspiration.
Or do 'em one-handed :eek::D
I'm ashamed to admit it - but I can't do one push up. Of any form. I need to gain strength - and would love to do this. But it's kinda hard to figure out where to start:cool::cool::eek:
Dangit! That's another thing I want to do! I can do a respectable number of two-handed pushups (nowhere near 100 though!). But one-handed, I can only do on the wall, and standing embarrassingly close to it too. :mad: I guess I need to start seriously working on one of these... :oQuote:

I suspect I'll be starting at Level 1 with a bunch of you. :D
My DH will absolutely *die* if I make it to 100 push ups!
...then again, I might too! :rolleyes:

The things you all make me get into. . .:p
After the 100, we should all learn to do those pushups where you clap at the top. :D
You should be able to do those once you can do 15-20 regular ones. They're not hard. But DEFINITELY don't try them if you have wrist, hand, elbow or shoulder problems.Quote:
