re: 10,000 Push up Challenge (June 1-30)

300 yesterday, a/c out at the office, so probably not going to get that many today.

Did my day 1 25,26,27&28. Not as bad as I was expecting. Might up my goal to 15000.

Yall should do the GOMAD (gallon of milk a day) diet and get really swole.

Ok. I'm going to give this a shot.
It will be tough on my left shoulder, but will go as long as I can. I'm a day late, but needed 48 hours to think about it.

What kind of plateau? A strength plateau?

Just curious if anyone doing this challenge does not already work out on a regular basis? If not why not just join a gym or do you plan on using this as a bridge to starting a workout routine?

I go to AnyTime 3-4 times a week and mostly do free weights, pull-ups, push-ups and squats. I used bench with the bar, but pulled my pectorial muscle more than once. I much prefer different types of push-ups as opposed to benching with free weights. My goal is keep lean, no bulk. Will do cardio on the weekends.

I also like to do supersets, so the days I go to Anytime, I plan to still do my push-up challnege but alternate it with pull-ups 2 times a week. I did a half-arse P90X workout 5 years ago, so in sense, I consider the push-up challnege a new modification of that.

Have you tried dumbbell bench press?

Im doing it kinda cold turkey. I have a 2 year old and another one due in 2 months. I typically work 45-50 hours a week so I do what I can when I can, which isnt much very often haha Its been about 6 months since Ive been in a gym, but I typically take my bike out and ride the levee a few times a month to get some work in. I normally do pushups later on in the day if I have time to burn at the office, so this just gives me a daily goal to try for.

10%


500 each of the last two days.
