Anyone on here given this a whirl? It sounds pretty good and i think im going to give it a go. I'll be impressed if after 6 weeks i can do 100 pushups in a row. At the moment im absolutely pants at pushups and can only do 12 before my arms give in.

Anyone up for giving this a blast at the same time as myself?

I might do it for a laugh, i can do about 30 pushups, but thats with having a few seconds rest after every 10.

push ups are so under-rated

i'll give it a whirl

Jamesbcd · 27 May 2009 at 20:42

Well this will help you do a 100

I can't really do pushups, there's something wrong with my left wrist and clavicle(collar bone area) that is really painful and clicks when doing it.

Usually do pull ups on a bar in the landing every morning ( I guess that's a bit harder, but it does not hurt!)

yey 21 pushups

I'm not to sure about the pushup is the only exercise you need idea though.

I can do about 30 from rest, though when I try them in the gym after triceps/chest work I tend to fall flat on my face (thankfully my hands get in the way first)

I've been looking for something like this, cheers OP.

A while ago I decided I wanted to know how to juggle, so I researched the correct technique, practised a lot, and now I can juggle 3 balls.

I'm going to treat this like that.

just done my day 1 pushups

Helios1234 · 27 May 2009 at 21:16

Perhaps this might be something you could be interested with. Same sorta idea over the same amount of weeks. I'll be doing the push ups and it'd be good to see if this works too.

"due to the potential risk of spinal damage involved with performing traditional sit-ups, the two hundred sit- ups program will utilize the more common crunch or curl up exercise."
spinal damage? oops, guess I'd better stop doing my ordinary sit ups .
And I suppose there is nothing to stop anyone doing the sit ups , squats, and push up program at the same time... 7 weeks from now we need an OcUK's strongest man competition

I can do 27 straight, no stops. Dunno If i feel the need to do 100 though

SpeedFreak · 27 May 2009 at 21:37

can probably do a hundred, used to do a lot more, but my physique is built for them tbh.

that alone puts me off that website.

TheCenturion · 27 May 2009 at 21:51

I can do 2 pushups before my body feels weak.

Edit: make that 3
