Pushup Challenge

[baldy]

Just noticed this. I usually do 40 to 50 to warm up for benching and considering I hold the record for the clapping press up challange, I take the responsibility to blitz the 100 reps mark.

So is it 40 or 50? Or should we just wait until you nail the 100?

[Jon]

You can put me down for 38. I sometimes do 40 and once I managed 50, but have never been able to do it again. Today I couldn't even do 40... but I will do that 50 again one day!!

Put me down for 66, in 1 min 40 secs.

[baldy]

Updated jon and theblackcat, onwards and upwards to 100!

[theblackcat]

80, in 1 min 7 secs, getting the hang of it

So has anyone reached 100 yet? How's Patte doing?
I haven't really committed to this, but did 32 last time I tried so
a slight improvement.

[theblackcat]

I gave up since no one is challenging me

Seriously though, I've been so preoccupied with writing my dissertation that the last time I worked out was probably when I was doing those 80 pushups.

I'm hoping to be back in a couple of days to get the 100 reps done...

Much has been said, but no one has claimed to have done it yet.
Anyone taken any videos?

I did a hundred a while back, but I'm not exactly certain it qualifies for the challenge as my form was pretty crappy towards the end. I'll see if I can get a video taken this weekend.

Before I started weight training I did this - http://hundredpushups.com/. I nailed a hundred in one set about 8 months ago haven't done any push up since. i'm going to try them on my next upper body max rep day and see how many i can get. I'm pretty sure I can get top 5 on this challenge by wednesday!

[Flaming Monkey]

I just did a disappointing 40. I'll see if I can get that back up to a nice number next weekend.

30.

Does anybody else get clicky elbows when they do this btw - or is it just an anatomical curiousity of my own?

JOhn.

Well done John.

Make sure you warm up, stretch, maybe do a few easy and slow before trying a big set.

Good to get you on the table. I have the odd click occasionally in my elbow which feels awkward so I normally move the position slightly and it goes.

Depends if its painful I suppose and if it continues every rep or just the first couple.

I did a 102 today as documented in my log

Wish I had a video camera to document this!
