One hundred push ups

[yellow]

Once upon a time, not that long ago, I was a push up junkie (and no, I'm not talking about bras). Then I got this idea in my head that I needed to unbulk a little bit, which I think was really an excuse to just quit doing push ups.

Well, a friend of mine has enticed me to do the one hundred push ups program. Do I need to be able to do 100 pushups in a row? No. But why the hell not? It's something to focus on. And I'm needing a little of that bulk back now (that is, to replace some other "material").

I did the initial test today. I did fewer than I thought I would. I'm starting the official program on Monday.

Anyone else want to join in????**

I think this was mentioned a while back in another thread. I joined up then, and am halfway through week 4. It's a great program!

{Reluctantly:}

I'm in.

We're starting on Monday, is that right?

Did I just say that?

Bad wrists aren't a total pass.
If they're not too bad you can grip small hand weights instead of bending your wrists.

I shall attempt this..

Sounds like a great program, and one that I could use after breaking a hand this summer! I'm in!!

Neat! I can't do it next week because we'll be on vacation all week on our boat, and I am too busy to even read it all or figure it out before we leave, but I've saved the site for when we return. Looks like a great goal for fall!

I started this a month ago. The first two weeks were fine, then I got to weeks 3 and 4 and now I'm only doing "girl style" push ups (not that there's anything wrong with that, but I was hoping to do them all regular style). It gets really hard around week 4, but it's kinda fun. My friend just did her 100 last week. Pretty cool!

[Dogmama]

Me too!

[NoNo]

What the hey, I'll give it a try. My arms could use some toning and upper body strength has never been my thing.

[OakLeaf]

Oh boy...

I glanced at it when the topic came up the last time...

I still haven't made it to six chin-ups, which I would REALLY like to do (well, I'd like to do 10, but you know)...

ask me again next week

[SouthernBelle]

I will read the site this evening.

We need some type of equivalent for core work! Although regular situps are no longer the done thing.

[OakLeaf]

Actually push-ups do work the core if they're done properly. It's just a plank, with added arm work.

I'll give this a shot. I've never been able to do more than 10 at once, and my second set has never been more than 5, so this will really be a challenge for me.
