Re: September Pushup Challenge!

1,500 for me for the month--I've done 400 so far.

Thanks for stepping up, Alexa! I like having muscles in my arms--makes the flab less noticeable.

Hi Erica,

Welcome I'm very impressed by the guy pushups - how long did it take you to be able to do them?

Re: September Pushup Challenge!

The guy pushups I was actually forced to do to prepare for my training at the FDNY ems academy. That was a couple of years ago. Not sure of a time frame I just had to do them. They would yell at you and make sure your butt wasn't up in the air, the back had to be straight. They would make us do them on the side of the cross island xwpy and in public view in these bright red uniforms after running 3 miles. "Downnnn 1, Dowwwwn 2, Down.... 3". So you just basically did it cause you had to. And if anyone couldn't they would make the rest of the class hold push up position until the person who couldn't did their amount. They used to make us do 50 guy pushups. It's a paramilitary training at Ft Totten. So now I actually find it easier to do guy pushups, even at my heaviest I was still able to do a few. I think it's what you get used to and force yourself to do. I know I can do 10 a sitting now. It just takes practice.

Looseshoes 15 guy pushups that's great, it really does get easier with practice and building up dem strong muscles!

Re: September Pushup Challenge!

Thanks, Cheribom! I do feel muscles in my arms and shoulders that weren't there before.

I was having a "weak" day yesterday--could only do 10 man ones, but I did 120 Wed total, 520 for month/1500 is my goal.

I think it's just allergies are making me tired, hopefully they'll clear up soon.

Keep it up, everybody!
