Did the 100!!!!

[spyrosmom]

Finished the 100 push up challenge. That is the best awfullest thing I have ever done. Can't say I'll ever do 100 again in one group of my own free will The 1st 50 weren't so bad. 51-85 were ROUGH, the last 15 were sheer willpower. Had to pause and hold a plank thru the last 15 a couple times. And fell into a nice splat on the ground after the last one. I wanted to do at least 1 more, but it wasn't going to happen. I think I'll continue to do a large set of pushups before every strength workout, but I don't want to do that ever again!!!

Off for disc 34 now. Chest/back. Glutton for punishment!

Hey Nan!

YOU GO GIRLFRIEND!! Wow!! Are we talking "real" push-ups or the wimpy ones I do - bent knee?? Either way.... you are my hero!

 

[spyrosmom]

straight leg. but my knees were a callin'

 

[delicatesteph]

SUPER job! My goodness! I am just shaking my head. There ain't no way...

 

[kgalas]

Way to go Nan!! I agree Steph-there ain't no way for me either!

 

[aveggiegirl]

[Govtgirl]

[syzygy314]

Way to go Nan! I had to stop due to some tendonitis in my wrists. May give it another go after STS!

 

[worseenemy]

Woo-hoo Nan!

 

[honeybunch1]

I did it several years ago....

...(the 100 pushups challenge) and will probably never do it again. I proved to myself that I could do it, and why do it again?

Anyway, congratulations.....this is no small feat!

Checking in briefly & will crawl back in my hole.....bye bye.

Congratulations, Nan!!!! That's AWESOME!!! That's a tough challenge. I've done it twice and never did make it all the way to 100, but I'm pretty proud of getting to 70some push-ups. I'll probably never do it again either, but push-up will remain an important part of my fitness regimen.

 

[jodijodi]

Congrats Nan!!! WTG! I've done it twice, and I know how hard it is. So proud of you!!

 

[Ffte]

Nan, WTG!!! But following that up with STS back and chest, now that's simply insanity at it's best (or would that be worst ) Seriously though, you deserve to be proud.

I see a salt bath in your future.

I truly find this inspiring. I do a helluva lot of push ups (306 yesterday) - now I want to work toward doing 100 in a row. So I'll keep adding on to my starting set each time and work toward 100, and then I'll be as tough as Nan!

 

[Mos Nef]

Wow, way to go Nan! I downloaded the plan for this a year or two ago, but never had the guts to actually follow it. Now, I'm inspired!

 

[Winter]

You are my new idol. I have a major love/hate relationship with push ups. Can't imagine doing this challenge. You totally rock.

[gettingfitmom]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! way to go, HOW DID YOU DO IT? must feel great! Congrats!

 

[handels]

Congratulations! That's an awesome accomplishment!

Did you reduce your upper body work at all while doing the pushup challenge? I tried it once and stopped when I repeated week 3 three times and it just kept getting harder and harder. I thought maybe it was overtraining from doing that and normal weight work?

I'm curious if you kept up a normal routine throughout or scaled it back?

Anyway, congrats again!!! Amazing job!
