One hundred push ups.

[Ozpunker]

Part of our grading at Kaizen Ryu requires us to do a set number of push ups (20 for yellow up to 80 for black). We also do push ups in just about every class. I usually struggle to do mare than the bare minimum so I was happy when someone showed me this site

onehundred push ups

I'm currently up to week three and keen to make it to the 100. If you guys give it a go, let us know how well you progress. It'd be cool to see us all trying to get the same results together.

I like this idea. I think I'll give it a look-over, and give it a go.

Excellent site-thanks!!!! I will be forwarding it to ALL my students!

I actually may give that a go myself.

It'll give me something to focus me to actually do them on a schedule. I'm looking forward to it, actually.

I'm on week 6, day 2 (tomorrow is day 3). Although I am not doing full push ups (I don't go all the way down... in 2 weeks or so I'll re-start it with good form). Yesterday I did 80 (58 required) it is a nice program, and seems to be giving results. Slow but good.

It looks like the reviews are fairly mixed there. I didn't read through all of them, but I didn't notice many that ended up at the 100 total.

I'll give it a go, anyways.

Today (1-13-09) I did my initial test, and got 21 push-ups in. So, that puts me at rank 3 for the under 40 age bracket.

So, it looks like I'm supposed to jump to week 3. Next week, I'll get started.
