I do the regular push-ups, too. I started out doing them on my knees and every day trying a few more of the regular ones. Then, my knees started bothering me and I had to do all regular push-ups. It gets easier every day.

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.

Wow, that sounds hard - but effective What's the FDNY ems academy, if that's not a dumb question?

Sorry to have been away for a while - it looks like you're all doing great.

I've another 40 to declare - I need to shift. 110/800

Way to go people! Keep it up for the next nine days

If I've made a mistake with your numbers please let me know.

I need to do 59 per day to reach goal and managed the biggest ever today - 85 which nearly killed me!
