One Hundred Push-ups in a Row

It’s been a long time coming but I’m pleased to announce that I have completed the hundred push-up challenge.  I’ve started this challenge at least 7 times and it just goes to show that if you stick with it you can actually do it.  The last ten push-ups were not pretty but I don’t care.  I’m done!  I think I’ll stick to doing 50 push-ups every few days as a maintenance program but I never want to go through all those levels again!

    Wow. How many weeks did it take this last time around? I know it’s supposed to be six, but that doesn’t account for the inevitable repeated weeks.

    I should also note that I’ve started, and re-started the challenge several times. I just have been able to stick with it long enough to make it through. This isn’t to say that I’m not doing pushups, because I am. And I’m making decent progress. But I haven’t been following the proper regimen, which I’ll likely have to do if I want to join you in the 100 club. Anyway, great work!

    Awesome! Way to go. I intended to continue doing push ups after I reached the 100 milestone, but a year later I must admit that I have not been anywhere near successful. I hope that you find doing 50 every other day or so easy, and interesting, enough to keep it up since I suspect the benefits will be great.

    About 7 and a bit I guess. I didn’t repeat weeks. Just days!

    That’s great! I love your idea to keep push-ups in the rotation (but not daily). Not every new trick has to stick!

    Everything is possible if we put our minds into it. 100 push ups is overwhelming, but you have proved the triumph of the spirit over our bodies. :-)

    The more you do it, the easier it becomes. Don’t give up on 100 so fast.. keep doing it and sooner or later it’ll be nothing for you.

    amazing job! I’m going to try it too :-) but I don’t think I can do more than 40 in a row. We’ll see.

    That is Great. I’ve been debating about starting the 100 push-up challenge for a while.

    There’s a big difference between talking about it and doing it. For now, I’m content at running, swimming, and biking mixed with my daily 10 minute weight workout.
