exflyboy Dec 2010 10:30pm, 21 Dec 2010 47 posts	0 exflyboy Jingle Snells I can assure you I am using both arms and anything else that will help me get back up from the lowered position. I would wear a red nose with a spring in it if I could get one. Are you suggesting we start doing one arm press ups, if so I'm out

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:-).
