re: 10k pushup challenge. Start Aug 1. "Season long thread"

Not much of a challenge. I can do 400 in sets of 50 with my feet on a desk. Can do more than 100 without stopping for the APFT. The endurance builds quickly but there's no point unless you combine it with weight lifting if you really want to build lasting results.

Hardly. I work with an NCO that does these monthly "challenges", different one every month with little to nothing to show for it so far. Only value in doing that many push-ups is building back in some endurance or prep-work before going back to weights after some time off. You use about 60% of you total body weight with a standard push up and maybe 74%-75% with your feet raised 36". That's like benching the bar and two plates for a 200 lb person.

Anybody said how we go about keeping track of this?

Everytime we posts a number the OP records it?
Only post the entire days number?
What's the consensus?

You can post into the thread as much as you want with your daily numbers. ie

8/1/14 - 333
8/2/14 - 350 etc.

I'm planning on updating the spreadsheet daily, and posting the daily total and total for the month in the OP every day. Im going to post the spreadsheet into dropbox on even days. That should give enough time for people to get their numbers in that want to.

In list updated thru here

I'll do it. It should tone out my arms from swimming and balance out my cycling thunder thighs

Do SEAL pushups, stop at the top for 30-60 seconds. You will get strong as shite.

At up or down position? I do slow counts, up and down.

I leave for Vegas on the first but count me in. I want to see if I can do this.

What is Apft?
