TooNice's 100 push-ups for the lol challenge log

[TooNice]

I am sure this was posted before, and odds are, I said I would go for it without specifying when. Well this month's Men's Health brought it up again, and I now pledge that starting from today, I'll train according to the program till I reach that goal. Let's see what my word is worth

Here's the site for those who aren't sure what I am on about. Feel free to join this little challenge.

Session 1: 11/12/9/9/9 *Note: I was originally going to go with the more aggressive version in Men's Health, but wasn't able to go beyond 9 for the last set (target was 13). So in the future, I will make do following the 3rd column in the website. 5 sets is hard for me as I am used to train in sets of 3.

Nah, real men do these

Good luck, just keep at it.

I remember this challenge, I got about up to week 4/5 but then got busy/tired to keep at it. Was able to manage 50 consecutive push-ups done though around when I stopped :-$. I think now I can squeeze out 30 :-|

Might pick it up again!

Alright, I'll give it a go as well. See what happens.

I managed 10 just now before caving in, so I'll go with the second column.

Session 1: 6/6/4/4/14

Session 2: 10/12/8/8/17: Oh yeah! Nothing like a bit of placebo. Umm though come to think of it, it's only 5 more than round one and I took 15 extra seconds rests per set. So only a marginal improvement, but my arms and chest feel much tougher and I feel good

I can't do press-ups. My stupidly broken wrist won't support my weight on that angle

[Gerrard]

I'll give this a go and do them when I get back from the gym (I can watch TV then!)

What about using pushup bars? I noticed less wrist ache when using them.

[usxhe190]

I will join you guys!

Thinking about it, can't you do miniature press-ups on your elbows?

admittedly, you'd end up with a wonky chest and arm.....

I'm gonna give this a try

[Mblaster]

I also started (but never finished) this a while back after seeing it posted on here, I was doing the squats one at the same time.

Maybe I'll start it again when things settle down for me and I get a little more time on my hands.

Good luck

Forgot to update: Session 3: 11/15/9/9/19

That's week one convincingly cleared.

Thats where I want to end up.

At the mo I'm only doing 30 push up's a night, 10 left lead, 10 right lead 10 normal, next week that'll go upto 15 of each, next month I'll see if I can get upto 20 of each, by the end of the year I at least wanna have the balance to planche..
