I'm sure I've seen this posted here before, but I did a few searches and it didn't turn anything up, so...

I'm attempting to do this:

http://hundredpushups.com/index.html

I just took the "Initial Test" and managed a lowly 16, I've never been great in the upper body strength area.

Despite the site recommending you take a few days to recover after the initial test, I'm going to start with week 1 tomorrow evening.

I'm hoping that in posting this, I will stay motivated to complete the entire 6 weeks, and it will possibly inspire a few others to do the same - but we'll see ;)
 
I started this last year - got to 60+ on the exhaustion test after about a month of training then lost interest. May start it again soon.
 
I got to the point where i could do 50 in one go without stopping, then a van pulled out in front of me on the zxr and I smashed my wrist, now I can only do 10 tops
 
I did 44, arms feel really weak and are trembling now.

Played footy today, reckon I can do more if I try again another day.
 
I would say anything that encourages you to push yourself too hard is a bad idea. 100 is an arbitrary number, what's more important is doing the most you can do.
 
I used to be able to do ~100 push ups and several hundred sit-ups/crunches, but that was about 10 years ago. I've since discovered sitting around and chilling out with beer, and can muster about 12. :/

Crikey I feel terrible about letting myself go a bit.
 
I just did 35, thought i'd stop before my head exploded! My last one was a very slow and pain full push :D First time i've done any in a looong time!

From about 15 onwards my shoulder/elbow cracked every time, can't be a great sign =/
 
Just did 25 :D. Could do more but my feet were slipping back on the laminate floor.

Wow, not done these since I was at school, feels good. Might give this a go.
 
giving this a go too, can do around 60 good form chest to floor push-ups so straight in at week 3 column 3, did day 1 easy days 2 and 3 look a lot harder.

This is essentially why I'm doing it..

Started running this year also, as I'd heard it can be good for asmatics. Very short distances, 3-4 times a week - but I can feel myself improving.

Thought I'd give this a try too.

Off to bed now - but I'll post how I get on tomorrow evening with the beginning of Week 1! :D

little warm up first might help, swing your arms around that kind of thing.
 
Jesus and I thought I was a weakling, managed 25.

Slight problem however, I now can't lift my coffee mug to my face.

Think I'm going to give this a go.
