Foo - Official Foo Push-Up Challenge!!!

Some of the folks in the Fitness/Nutrition Forum are doing this: http://hundredpushups.com
I'm giving it a shot as well.

Anyone interested in giving it a try?

Let's see who can do the most good-form push-ups on October 31st. That gives you two whole months to train! Many have gone from being able to do only 5 push-ups to 50 or 100 in only 6-8 weeks!

It only takes 30 minutes per week (about 10 minutes, three times a week).

Let's do it!

8/11: 20
8/26: 35
9/26: 40

my noodle arms managed 30.

I'll try this out.

My doctor said my weak arms should not support the weight of a glass of water let alone my entire body, but screw him, what does he know? :p Yes! 14...

I can do about 60 in a row, and I'll let those of you who want to work harder than that hog all the glory. ;)

I have to set my beer down to do a push up. PASS.

Will doing a push-up make me a more effective cyclist? Might make me look better on the bike, though. Like Kevin Spacey said in American Beauty,"I want to look good naked." Count me in.

Oooooooo <waves hand like a doink> Hey over here I have a push-up bra that can meet the challenge - seriously - it's a total contender!!!!!!

Gawd, I have no upper body, but I managed 37 push-ups before collapsing in a heap.

OK, I'm in.

Pics or it's not true.

No wonder you're Unsafe in the Alpine. How do you dyno with that upper body? :p

:lol: the extra weight I've packed on doesn't really help... and not climbing in a year works against me, too.

55, half way there?

:twitchy:Homework!! Now!!

:twitchy:Homework!! Now!!

ah crap, I do actually have homework I need to do tonight :p

I am up to 40. Anyone else still doing this? I had a few setbacks, but I am now beginning week 3 of the program and hope to hit at least 70-80 (if not the full 100) by the end of October.

Oo I'll try. I'm wearing a skirt so I'll do it tonight after I work out. I'm actually doing something similar to this in my weight lifting class. At the beginning of the semester you had to choose between doing sit-ups or push ups. Do as many as you can. At the end of the semester, you're tested again. (it's assumed that you would improve...thats if you trained).

I don't want to tell you how many- I have man arms.

I can do about 20 w/ good form....maybe 25.

that can be your next contribution to the women of foo thread, lets see those guns!

I just ate and haven't been exercising much, but i'll see where i'm at tonight when i get home.

The only thing that holds me back from doing 100 is that my wrists give in after about 60.

But... count me in anyway :)

I'm in, though I'll report back tonight with my number (at the office now, and don't want to sweat without being able to manage the clothing)

20 before my arthritis takes over and my wrists give out.

Wat does it mean when my brain assumed this thread was about push-up bras?

ya but weren't you in the Army, sir?

I dropped 5 push ups in gym class for the Presidential Fitness Whatever.

Kids didn't know what to do. They ran.

Is there a multiplying factor for excess weight?

I can't even envision doing 20 good pushups until I lose 100 pounds, and that won't happen in a few weeks.

My daughter and I start on this tonight. :thumb:

Can we start a Foo Pull-up/Chin-up Challange?

ya but weren't you in the Army, sir?
1) no sir here
2) no, sir.

gah, no.

Hell I thought about those ice cream treats. Why else would I click on this?

I did 24. Just did 24. I used to be able to pump out 50 before I would collapse. I haven't done any upper body work in a while. All my work has gone into my guads.

Your arms aren't going to get you to the top any faster.

28ish

Your arms aren't going to get you to the top any faster.

I dunno. My legs sure can't get me up the hills around here.....:notamused:

I can't even open a bag of chips. What makes you think I can do a pushup?

Because you look muscular.

I can do a LOT.. Lying on my back of course.

I can do probably 15-20 with my skinny little arms. I don't need strong arms to run or bike.

:twitchy:Homework!! Now!!

Not that kind of push-up. :eek:

I am somewhere in the realm of 70-75ish....But my job requires that i do them sooo...it's not really fair.

Okay dangit. *breathes heavily* I just did 52. I haven't done that for a while. *takes breath* I really lost it. :(

You have me beat. I did 32.

I probably should have tried harder, I used to be able to get in the 50s. Meh.

*jaw dropps onto floor.* WOW. Remind me never to piss you off.....:eek::eek:

Oh, were we supposed to do two armed pushups? :innocent:

Because you look muscular.
