One Hundred Pushups

*bump*

And you thought I forgot about this. How's it going, MacFall?

I wanted to say thank you for the links. I'm going to try this because I want to tone my muscles and not get really "big". Having a structure might really help me. I know I can do about 20 push ups in a set and probably about 100 "sit ups" as they describe them. I can probably do all the squats, but I'll have to see.

I'm going to forget the pull ups for now. I can do about 3. Maybe in six months.

I've bookmarked the pages though. Should be fun.

Bleh. After a week of camp and a month of 12-hour days building roofs and bulkhead doors and bridges, I haven't been following the schedule. The bright side is I've been staying plenty active, so I can still do about double what I could when I started. I actually sort of did forget about it, but I'll see where my current max reps put me on the chart and get started again.

I've started these two programs:

one hundred push ups
two hundred squats

Once I get some strength and endurance built up I'll also be doing these:

two hundred sit-ups
twenty five pull ups

Currently I can do about 20 pushups and 50 squats, so at least I'm not starting completely dry. I'll be charting my progress in this thread. Anyone want to join me?

Looks interesting. I'm willing to give it a go.

O lawdy. As it stands I can do 40 push ups a day, and even the idea of doing a hundred in a row is daunting to me. But, who knows. Consistency can do great things to the body.

I'm working back up on my pull ups.

 

[Tallerthanatree]

^ Same. I can do about 5 or 6 fresh, wouldnt mind being able to do about 10 or so.

 

[r035198x]

I can do about 30 straight every morning but I've lost interest in body building exercises.

 

[MacFall]

I can't do anything now, until my knee is better.

I just noticed the other thread.

I'm almost back up to 20 dead hang pull ups; I'd like to be able to do 30+.

How much do you weigh?

Being able to do a ton of pull ups at my bodyweight would be cool, but I'd rather focus on getting my squat back up over 300.

Cool program. A while back, me and a friend had a friendly competition for doing push ups. I managed to get up to 30 consecutive after a number of weeks. I didn't really have an increased resistance *plan*...just to do as many consecutive ones as I could in one session.

But I haven't done them in some time. Took the initial test...and I managed 18 consecutive before my arms were seriously shaking.

I think I'll give this program a go in the near future.

anywhere from between 165 to 170.

 

[HeavyMetalDude]

I can do the 200 sit ups but since I injured my AC joint pushups won't be happening till it heals.

 

[Stravinsk]

Started this today. Day 1, 3rd column to the right. On the 5th set, I really struggled to do that ninth push up.

 

[ifightdwagons]

Do what I do, Tabata!

 

[MacFall]

I really should start this again now that my knee is better. I can do pretty much anything except kneel on it.

 

[SearcherKris]

I'm interested in trying this.

I didn't even think I could do one pushup, and maybe not even a girly one with the knees bent, but I tried just now, just to see. Guess what, I did it without my knees bent. I'm pleasently surprised with myself. Who knew?

LOL

I only did three though. I don't know how many I can do at this point without hurting myself, but I would like to work up to 50.

I can do situps, or crunches. Fifty a day seems doable. I don't know how much higher I can go right now, but it would be interesting to see.

I don't know if my knees will hold up to squats. I'm a little afraid to try those.
