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

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

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

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."

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

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.

Total: 14,165

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

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

Siege

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?
