90 for the day
11950 + 90 = 12,040

+25 = 12065

What kind of number are we talking here? 100 000? 1 000 000?

100 today

12165

Well, I just did a little back of the envelope calculation. At the rate we're going, we'll finish the 50,000 comfortably by the end of May, but not way ahead of schedule. I think a good challenge would be to increase our output by about 50%. I hereby decree the new goal to be 75,000! I have faith in the TFP's ability (and will) to rise to a challenge. And, well, if lots more people join in and it looks like we'll arrive ahead of schedule again, I can (and will) just make the number even bigger... and bigger and BIGGER and.... A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!



*ahem*


...excuse me.


The point is to encourage those of us who regularly do push-ups to do more of them or to do them more frequently or more consistently or all of the above, AND to encourage anybody who doesn't already do push-ups--whether it's because they aren't strong enough yet or they are and they just never get around to doing any--to start doing them regularly (again). I suspect there are some people out there who do a lot of push-ups all the time and think they shouldn't contribute to this thread for one reason or another. To those people I say JOIN US. (I'll just make the number bigger, remember?) To everybody who's posted in this thread already: keep on trucking, my friends. I know you have more in you.

I say Kewpie Dan could probably do 75k by himself :lol:

no pushups from me today, today was chest/tricep day so pushups would be unbearable

Okay, 50 more because of SC's post

12215

+35 = 12250

wow! already past 12K!

(I think I'm getting delirious with push-upitude.)

Another 50 for me.

Nerd. I did 60 (my normal 50 + 10 for Supple)

I have always wanted to be able to do pushups. It's always hard.. I suck at it, but here's to contribution : 10 this morning

12920

12920 + my 100 for the day

13020

That's a start! We'll be here to get you through that sore period and you'll be doing them with ease soon enough. :)

And guys? Thanks for dedicating all these extra push-ups to me, but if you all do it the way Toaster has, it's going to sound like I'm dead!

"I did my usual X today, and an extra X... (in a sad whisper) for supple." :lol:

I did 20 this morning and there are more to come later.

Total: 13,040

just finished my quad weekly 430.

13 470 and counting

13470 + 80

Nothing like push-ups to take away the guilt of a midnight snack. (When I grow up, I want to be a beast like Kewpie Dan.)

+50

+60

Total: 13,660

I'll give it a go. Today's count: Beer-0 Twinkies-0 Reeces-15 (small ones) 35 pushups.

went to muay thai and did 360

so that's 35 for newtx, 360 for me for 14145

(p.s. Supple Cow, keep up the good work and you'll be doing more than me in no time)

I was going to take a break today, but my roommate's boyfriend just revealed that he had secretly been trying to keep up to my total since he first saw the push-up challenge sheet on my door and now he's BEAT me. It was only by 15 so I put in a quick 20 today. :p

Total: 14,165

14,165 + 300 = 14,465

Another 100 from me.

14,565

(from yesterday)
20 from Abaya and 50 from me

14,635

If I end up choking at today's tournament like last year, I will punish myself with 500.

Otherwise, I will be happy and provide my regular 100 :)

14,635 + 8 =

14,643

:)

Sweetpea

14,643 + 15

(i think my arms are getting stronger) :)

14,658

sweetpea

I;ve done 85 pushups per day since I last posted so 85 x 12 = 1020
14,658 + 1020 = 15,678

I didn't choke, and my partner and I won, so i'm sorry, i'll only be contributing 100, which I will do tommorow since I can barely stand :)

Way to go! Maybe you'd like to do the extra 400 anyway... to celebrate. ;)

That's because they are! Isn't it great how that works? ;)

I've only done 10 so far today, but I'll do more later.

Total: 15,688

+120 . . .

15808

Edit: Is anyone interested in starting a pullup challenge similar to this one? I'd like to start one if I can get some interest!

i didn't even want to do them today. but i pushed out 440 for the thread. i'm hoping to get up to 460 at least by may.

new total of: 16248!

+ 20 = 16,268
