One Hundred Pushup Challenge

Jul 6th, 2009

by Jon.

I’ve always found that it’s easier to stick to a workout plan if there are other people participating that will keep you in check. That’s why when I started to do the One Hundred Pushups challenge, I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to my Twitter friends and see who wanted in. I got a good response. Here are the Twitter users taking part in the One Hundred Pushups challenge:

LA Snark, TeddRoman, CDX, LoLoBennett825, KillTheMic, ShinySpecialOne, SoyLibrarian, HotelCafeJunkie, Mactivist, ANotorias, IvyAugusta, gunman, creamteam, Allijo99

The group challenge is starting today July 6, but you can join in any time if you’d like to start a little later. Participants are encouraged to log their progress in the comments section below and use the hashtag #hundredpushups.

I’ll see you in 6 weeks for our flexing contest.

I'm stoked to get started. I can barely do 3 pushups in a row... so there's so much progress to be made! #hundredpushups

I hear you, this is going to be rough. I did squeeze out 15 pushups for my test, but not I'm afraid that trying to man-up on the test is going to bite me in the ass. I should have stayed in the left column.

There is also a pushup logger associated with the original website, where you can configure it to tweet your updates. I imagine you can add the #hundredpushups tag in the "Comments" field, to help the tracking overall.

I'm squarely in the middle list doing knee=pushups. Day one wasn't so bad, but I can definitely feel the protest in my shoulders. It's going to be a tough few weeks.

I'm a girl and have always done "girl pushups". My initial test was 2 in a row. I am the lowest common denominator, and I don't know if I'll make it to 100, but I hope to make it to at least 50!

I did fairly well on Day 1. Squeaked out 12 in my final set. I'm on the right column doing full pushups. I'm doing better than I thought. Reading through everybody elses comments, I'm feeling like a bad ass. But I'm really trying not to brag.

Jon

You can do it V! 3 weeks down the line you'll be asking me to sit on your back while you do one-armed pushups.

Looking forward to this!

Thanks go out to @CDX for alerting me to the challenge.

@Andrei

Go team!
I would join this too, but I'm on week 5 already with some folks from FreshBooks.
After only about 2 - 2.5 you'll start feeling real strength gains... and your pecs will start filling in. Have fun guys and goodluck.

Jon

Thanks for stopping by Andrei! Feel free to check in any time and let us know about what 5 weeks in the future feels like :)
