115,376

I can't believe I am just now noticing this thread - put me down for 75 from today.

115,376 + 75 = 115,451

115,451 + 50 = 115 501

Hrrm.

I've done about 15,000 in the last four years... does that count?

Grown men that do push-up contests need alcohol. Lots of alcohol.

How 'bout you just include the ones from here on out, eh buddy? :thumbsup:

(You gotta get your own booze though.)

What? Oh, C'MON... do I get a tax deduction or something?

There has to be a reward besides hardened chest muscles.

I'm such a lightweight... two beers and I'm done. Thanks a lot, lack of body fat.

I'm the "couch guy" at the party.

115 501 + 40 = 115 541

115 541 + 60 = 115 601

I can do 60 in three sets without much problem. At this rate I'll be able to reach my goal of 100 in a row by the end of the year.

I think we should have TFP people do the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) and award merit badges and chocolate chip cookies and puppies and sunshine.

Minimum standards (brain is a little rusty):

RUN: 2 miles in 13:50
PUSHUPS: 48 in 2 minutes
SITUPS: 52 in 2 minutes

......

Oooh, puppies and sunshine.

Pushup and situps I can do with no problem. Don't think I can do the run though, stupid knee starts aching if I push it that hard. I can do @9minute miles comfortably, but I'm afraid to push it any harder. :sad:

hmm, maybe I'll just make that a goal and start trying to train myself to run 6:55 miles.

115 601 + 72x72x72x72 (while watching Animal Planet)


115 889

Herrm... (does 11 more)

OCD'd!

116 000!

115 601 + 60 = 115 661

72 + 72 + 72 + 72

(looks at number)

Oh hell no! (OCD'd)

Drill Sergeant Crompsin:

You f*ckers better start pushing!

WUN-TOO-TREE... WUN-TOO-TREE!

116 010 + 75 = 116 085

Okay, I did a total of 40 in the last week or two. My arms are getting noodley and I can't go all the way down anymore. Shit. This is what happens when all you do is run. :shakehead:

Total: 116,125

Where's my puppy?

I need to start doing these every day again.


Wait, wait... 2 miles in 13:50? Are you sure? I thought it was 1.5 miles in 13:00... or is that just the initial PFT minimum to join up?

You're getting the USMC and the US Army mixed up, chief.

Edit: Nevermind, I joined the Army when they still issued sensible hats.

Well while we're on the subject of PFTs, I found this USMC Woman PFT workout program and it calls one exercise just "bend and thrust"... I thought 'bed what and thrust it where?? Then I figured out it's what Crossfit calls a burpee (only minus the push-up in the middle and the jump at the end, I think).

This thread is making me really sad because I'm never posting in it anymore.

I must go do some now...

45x6 close-hand. 270.

116,125 is now 116,395

Okay, so the key is to do them in smaller sets once you've fallen off the horse. And slower.

10 + 10 + 10 + 20

= 116,445

AWLRIGHT! GO TEAM!

Guess I should start putting in my pushups, eh? Feel bad, I missed so many.
40+30+20+10 = 116545

I've worked myself sick so I'm "resting" by not running at all until I fight off this bug. Of course, this gives me the time and the patience to execute my nightly exercises carefully and slowly. My overhead squats are looking decent again and my push-ups will be back on track soon, I'm sure of it. Gotta add the ab work back in when it doesn't make me wanna go pukey.

=116,555

from today and yesterday:

100 + 80 + 116,555 = 116,735

From last night (too tired to do my full 100)
30 +20 + 10 + 116,735 = 116,795

damnit, someone do 5 to even that out!

116 795 + 75 = 116 870

20+25+15+20 + 116,870 = 116,950

Screw this, doing another 50 right now.. brb

+20

=116,970

20 + 20 + 10 + 116,970 = 117,020

I wanted a perfectly round number.... thanks Supple Cow :grumpy:
:)

She refuses to work with the OCD members here.

117,060

+40 = 117,100

mmm, much better.

I'm back on the wagon!

117,100 + 270 = 117,370

-Tamerlain

Haha!! I have OCD too but it only involves multiples of 5 in this case. Now RADIO VOLUME is another story.... it's got to be even OR multiples of 5. None of this 3,6,7 or 9 crap.

They are hard when you'rve ben dreinking. :p

=117,390

You drink? Omigod. (rereads your pontifications in his PM box)

What are you drinking? You need to share. I'm a poor old army boy.

God, I wanted alcohol so bad last night. Just two beers. Or something.

...

45+51+51+51. Diamonds suck. Only because my arms are 12 foot 12.

Uh... (counts)

117,390 + 198 (does two more)

200...

117,390 + 200 = 117,590 (does ten more)

117,600

"And I can't breathe... I'm choking on my lungs. And I can't stay in your spaceship no more!"

117 600 + 75 = 117 675

I'm still very weak as of late, and I'm sorry I haven't been able to contribute much, but have an extra 15... no wait... some more... :D



117,675 + 15 + 10 = 117,700

Aberkok,

You're an animal, dude. You actually post yours here all the time.

Right on.

117 700 + 75 = 117 775

Thanks, Crompsin. I am trying. My goal for the end of 2007 is to be able to do 100 in one go. I am on the way, currently working at 75 in 3 sets... stopping when I have to, but finishing those sets always.

I get about 85 in one shot.

100 seems far away still.
