3,000 Push-up Challenge Complete
Yesterday marked 30 days into the 3,000 push-up challenge, where you do at least 100 push-ups each day for 30 days. That means I’ve now crossed the 3,000 mark, which honestly happened a while back as many days I would get 150+ (my biggest day was 318). So what’s next?
Well another 3,000 of course, but this time I’m going to add the 1,500 pull-up challenge in as well. So starting yesterday 50 pull-ups a day. They can/will be any form you’d like so long as you do 50 of them a day. That’s going to be tough for me as right now I can only do about 10 a set.
When I started the push-up challenge I was doing 20 per set, now I’m doing at least 40 per set and many times 50. My maximum in one set so far has been 60. Later in the week I’ll do the Men’s Health push-up challenge: how many can you do in 3 minutes. You can stop as much as you want but you’ve only got 3 minutes from start to finish. Last month I did 75. Wonder how many I’ll do this month…




Dude – I had no idea. I'm not going to pick a fight with you anytime soon.
Well so far I'm failing in the pull-up challenge. Getting 50 of them in a day has been really tough. I'll continue with the push-ups though, in fact I better do a few right now!
What do you use to track your push-up totals?
I just keep count in my head. Since I generally do them in sets of 40 or 50 it's pretty easy to keep track. For my P90X workouts I wrote a web based app that I can use to track all my reps and weights. Used it yesterday at the gym and it worked great, I'll have to show it to you…
