    Good job Speedy! You are well on your way to 100.

    I did 100 consecutively for the first time ever just a few months ago. Then I did 500 in one workout but definitely overdid it.

    In 6 weeks time if I can do 50-70 consecutive pushups. ...

    I'll be happier than a pig in shit.

    70 consecutive PU is nothing to joke about.Thats awesome speedy.For a change of pace have you ever used a deck of cards for PU count.Fun to add into your routine.You can do it with friends.

    Got my 90 pushups done this morning. WOO HOOO!!!

    And tomorrow I join the health club down the street. The place is brand spanking new, and its only $9.95 a month. I am ONLY using it for the pool. I am so thrilled I can start my lap swimming again.

    $9.95 a month for lap swim? NICE!!!!!!!

    So in the last week, my 3rd week, I gave myself an extra day off between day 2 and day 3. Big Bonus! Instead of just one days rest between each day, I gave myself an extra day going into that 3rd day. Smart move on my part. Made things a lot easier.

    Cant wait to swim!

    Me too speedy. Sticking to the program. Today I did 50 with rest breaks. Yesterday was upper body and core day with weights so I'm kind of surprised I made it today. I'm getting down lower too. :-) my 7 yr old son was inspired to join me. I think he could do push ups all day. Youth.

    I just finished week 2.
    went from a max 11 to max 20.
    I am just barely keeping pace....that last repetition where you max out I'm lucky to make minimum.

    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    Ill finish up week 4 this Friday or Saturday.
    Ive had the same problem the last few workouts...As far as being able to do that MAX set at the end.

    What I do to compensate?
    I will wait 60-120 seconds and just do another set of my MAX.
    I do that other set, and I don't feel guilty about not hitting my MAX the 1st time around.
    Also, I have been giving myself 2 days rest between workouts.

    OK I'm in. Got 15 solid ones in and didn't count the couple cheap ones I tried to sneak in at the end. I can really feel that 35 lbs I've gained the last couple years.

    I'm near the same spot your are in the workout and that last set is killing me too! I just take a short break and finish out that last set. Its tough but I like feeling the burn the rest of the day! I'm looking forward to increasing my total in the coming weeks!

    132 total today.
    Probably wait till Monday to do my next test.
    I am not really worried though. I will stay in column #2.
    36-40 isn't going to be an issue.
    Funny how the body works. Eat good and exercise....And you get stronger?

    Who would of thunk it?

    Amazing the way the human body is so moldable.

    I'm mid week 3. I fell down to column 1 this week but still going strong. My in-house push ups coach approves my form and technique too so there's that. Resting today and more push-ups tomorrow
