The TFP Push-Up Challenge!!!
 

Somebody gave me an idea this week and I think there are probably some TFPers around here who will join me in this:

Let's collectively do 10,000? No... 50,000?? No... 75,000??? NO... 100,000?!?! NO!!! The approximate number of years the earth has been around push-ups by the end of 2025!

(I think this will be one hell of a quarter century.)

Now, my roommate and I are trying to do this just between the two of us in our own End-of-the-Lease 10,000 Push-Up Challenge, so I'm going to be churning out as many as my little body can produce.

I did some today, so the current total is 60.

Who's with me??? Huh? Huh??? :D :thumbsup:

35...

i think im gonna have a heart attack.

im doing my own personal challenge... NOT have a heart attack by the end of may.

or maybe the 10,000 twinkie challenge..... mmmmmmmmm twinkies

I've been doing 100 per day for the last... 15 years-ish.

When did/does the counting start?

I'll be doing some more at 18:30 (GMT)

50 more. This thread seems like it will be a nightmare to count.

Count me in. I should have some to tally up for tomorrow.

Cool Idea :thumbsup:

anyone on my twinkie count?

im at 3.

Put me down for 130. I will do more each time I see this thread.

40 knucklers. I either need to do this more often or give up completely. :)

Do girl-pushups count? I'm still on my knees.
Ooo, that is gonna cause a fervor.

85 this morning

419 + 85 = 504 so far!

23 more.

It's kind of embarrassing to be doing pushups in your office and have someone walk in and have to tell them that your web forum has a pushup challenge.

I think it was only 415 (those twinkies didn't count) + 85 =500

+ frogza's 32 = 523 so far!

(Thanks for helping with the count, will. Maybe everybody could post the total along with their own contribution to keep the adding manageable?)

:lol:

They most certainly do count, astrahl. Do whatever kind of push-ups you can... it's just important that you're doing them! Please join us!! :)

Also, there are enough people already participating to make the goal number bigger, so 50,000 it is!

50 so far today.

500 + 50 = 550

I just did 50 more.

Oops, guess I need to work on my reading comprehension :p 623!

Way to go! (btw, It's 623)

/me runs off to add to the count...

+200

I've been doing 100 per day for the last couple days and a bit more in the past week (don't know how many though). This is a great thread because I recently started doing push ups fairly intensively. One of my long term goals is to be able to do 100 pushups in one set (Already up to 50. Yeah. I have a small body).

so were @ 623 + Soma's 200 = 823
I just did 27 so:
823
+
27
=
850!!!!


I like this
can we add a situp challenge as well?

Maybe pullups too! I did 50 pullups today.

Okay, I just did a really sad (but difficult) 10. I usually do them with my arms a little wide, but I'm trying to do them off of push-up bars (actually, it's my doorgym on the floor) so that I can get deeper... and that makes my arms have to be closer together than I'm used to. This should get interesting.

NEW TOTAL: 860

Let's make separate threads for the sit-up and pull-up challenges. :)

I did 30 more.

890

Screw doing pullups and crunches though, I hate doing them :p

Another 30, and...yesithinkthatllbeitfortoday.

Situps? At what point does this become abuse? :)

Goddam, i'd totally help out if my shoulder wasn't shot.. :(

When it gets better i'll totally join in.

25 more, but i claim to have spent 2 hours at the gym doing chest and arms so i'm sore, and shit.

so 945 methinks

awesome idea, add another 50 for me :)

995 after Etarip

55 from me brings us to

1050

pretty good for one day

I just did a quick 25 more.

1075

90 for me.

1165 total.

-Tamerlain

knocked out a quick 50. TOTAL=1215

50 here, 1265

125 more

1390

EDIT: I just did 10 more to make it an even 1400.

1400 + 100 = 1500

did 10 out of the goodness of my heart (imagine what my arms could do):
[B]1510

Muscle failure at 38... I blame the previous 5.5 hours working at FedEx Ground. :)

50 more. 1598 total. Ow. I predict a reduced participation tomorrow.

Ow. This gets harder and harder. Just squeezed out 27. May have to give myself a day or two to recover...

1598 + 27 = 1625

1625 + 85 = 1710

Hah! It stops hurting so much when you switch to decline or incline and use different muscles.

1710 + 20 = 1730

ha! 1730+100=1830

1830+200 = 2030
