Basically I am following the 100 Hundred Push Up Challenge form this website. Here is the link http://hundredpushups.com/index.html

So you take the intial test and figure out where you fit in. I want to tone my upper body (including arms and boobs) without having to do a million machines while waiting 45 minutes at the gym.

I am gonna keep this thread up to date and post my progress. Anyone who is interested is free to join in.

Today is Week 1 Day 2 for me. I am using column number 2 for my workouts. For the last set (the max) I actually collapsed at number 3! Now my arms feel like noodles....but I know I gave it 100%. I wonder should I take measurements. Not sure because if I build muscle not sure if that would change the overall measurment. Any thoughts on this?

I am with you on the not wanting to use a million different machines to get what one old method will do. I cannot even do a whole push up. I used the exercise ball method, which put me closer than I have ever been to doing a real push up....... so I am going to start this way. I would love to be at 100 by the end of the year. I did not go to the website so I am not sure of the criteria.....

Anyone can do it. Just start with week 1 column one and repeat that week until you can finish it.

I'm currently repeating week 5 day 3 for the third time. I just can't seem to get past that last day, but I started off with terrible form and now I have great form and can knock out 30+ pushups at a time, so the program works.

They also have a link to the 200 situps challenge, and I do them together.

Anyway, just wanted to say good luck and that the program DOES work

Im doing it as well and im up to 5 push-ups! lol

ladyrider - yeah I agree with Joyful, just go to the site at week one and do the first column. Don't forget to rest inbetween the days (like I did) or you're gonna pay for it....HAhA

Jahjah - Wow I can't wait for week five. I am sooooo sore....including my abs for helping holding me up...

Joyful - I looked up the sit-up challenge and I think I may do them together like you. Thanks for the suggestion

Yikes - - so I thought sounded cool, and I tried it. Managed 4 push-ups...and ouch.

But I like this challenge, so I think I'll start it...even doing 10 consecutive push-ups seems like a pretty sweet accomplishment.

Wow... This looks neat! I might have to do this with you guys

[bjeweled]

i'm in i will do my first day tomorrow. maybe this thread will help me stick with it this time.

[WormwoodDoll]

I'm in. I want to do the 200 sit-up challenge too!

[CakeBatter]

Welcome everybody Let's do it.

For the intial day I eeked out 7! SO even if I can do 25 at the end of this I will be thrilled!

My arms are rubber. I could barely hold the flat iron up this morning and every turn of wheel on the way to work I could feel it from my shoulders to my obliques....YAY!

[kalikat003]

Boy I saw this in your sig yesterday, so I went to try it. I was only able to do 2 lol so I am in column one! I Thought my arms were stronger then that heh

[bronte155]

Ooh, this looks good! I've never been even able to do even one! (Which brings back embarrassing gym class memories, that and the "flexed arm hang" which I couldn't hold for even a second!)

[willow650]

I'm not 20something but I am doing this to. I started a while back but I got sick so I am starting over. I am determined to do them unmodified versions, I am doing column 1, Day 2 today. I am doing the 200 sit up challenge to.

[ladyrider72472]

I went to the site and I am in! I am going to do the sit up challenge also. Here we go!
