Well done speedie. Im thinking I will probably manage 2 X26 and then 15 more maybe. For the moment I will keep on doing them every day as long as there are signs of progress :-)

Just done mine, 3 x 6. First manly ones of each set tried to go for a bit more of a bend in my elbows. Remaining 5 of the first two sets done as girlie ones nose did touch the floor each time. Last set the 5 girlie ones nose couldn't make it to the floor. Think am reaching my limit. Have only just woken up and got out of bed so when they popped into my mind I thought I would go for it immediately to get it over with.

Hope everyone has a good day :-)

I've got up to 28 X 3. I think I might stay at 30 X 3 once I get there because it seems a bit excessive to do more. I would rather keep my energy for another run

Made it to 3x26 by Boxing Day. that was my target, so will now relax a little. Consolidate on 3x25, until it gets too easy, then start on number 4, or start to add in sit ups as well?

Managed 2 X 26, and then 16, so one ahead of my prediction. Even the second set is getting a bit tough with this number of reps. But I had a go, and hopefully I can add a few more to the third set tomorrow. :-)

Welcome Tanglefoot, and incredible work Hackett

Did my 3 x 28 after my run this morning. Still on track but hard - target was 3 x 25, so need to set the next benchmark - thinking 3 x 33 +1 to get to a hundred!

3 x 7 done. Tried very hard. Nose touched the ground on all girlie ones. More of an elbow bend on first manly ones. Am nearing my limit me thinks.

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:-).
