Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Evening all.

There is NO way I'm gonna get to 100 lol

Managed my 3 x 35 this evening, like yesterday the 1st set was tough and the second and third I managed to get through.

Well done all keep up the good work

back on it - 3 x 32 just done. Did feel easier after a few days off!

Interesting discussion on tactics on this week's podcast - a clear acceptance that this is not a good training method - fun challenge though ;-)

First attempt, straight in at 3 x 15. I know I jumped the gun a bit, but hey, it's only fun right

About This Thread

Maintained by Dogtanian
Start on day 1 with 3 x 1 press up. On day 2 move to 3 x 2 and keep increasing by one every day. If you fail to do the target for the day then you try the same number the next day, only increasing when you have done the session properly. The Marathon talk challenge is to get to 3 x 100 push ups.

There are no real rules except all three sets must be done in the same session though. No going to wash your hair/walk the dog in-between sets:-).
