RiceandPeas 4 Jan 7:07pm, 4 Jan 2025 4 posts	0 RiceandPeas I would very much like to join this challenge. Last Summer I was unable to do a single press up but can manage 5 now. Yep, I'm pretty feeble and this challenge can only help!
EvilPixie 4 Jan 7:10pm, 4 Jan 2025 60,852 posts	0 EvilPixie Welcome! I’m working on mine! Most will be on a raised surface, I can do “proper ones” but don’t go down low enough really My goal is to keep going and get to doing a set of 10 proper form press-ups by end of year I guess bring over weight and therefore heavier doesn’t help
ITG 🇮🇸 4 Jan 7:35pm, 4 Jan 2025 18,354 posts	0 ITG 🇮🇸 That's brilliant, riceandpeas! A few years ago, I could barely do one on my knees but I worked at it and now I can manage 15 in a row. But if I take a couple of weeks off, I am back down to 10! So the challenge is great to keep me at it and I try to do 30 every morning.

Cerrertonia 4 Jan 8:06pm, 4 Jan 2025 22,555 posts	0 Cerrertonia I've set myself a target of being able to do 100 consecutive press-ups, which I think will take me a couple of months to build up to. The process of doing that should get me a good way towards 5000.
