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

It seems I'm late to the party but I'm in! If I make it to 3 x 20 I'll be over the moon!

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:-).
