One push-up day one, increasing one push-up each day. The fun culminates on Saturday, Oct. 16th with 101 push-ups for time (know as the “It Hurts So Good” WOD and a party (no need to be entered in the challenge to attend, but you have to do the WOD)!
We had a great time in 2008 with a burpee challenge, I think this will be even more fun.
The Rules:
- Sign up ends Friday, July 23
- Knee or toe push-ups allowed
- Start with arms perpendicular to the ground with straight elbows
- Chest-to-ground
- Elbow next to ribs until you can do 20 toe push-up in a row
- Full elbow extension
- Full hip and knee extension throughout rep
- Head neutral to spine
- Broken sets allowed and encouraged after day 20
- Spread make-up reps over 3 days

Yahoo! LOVE the Challenges! For you non-mathletes, that’s 5150 pushups at the end of 101 days. Looking forward to it – thx, Saul!
Can I join?
Heck yeah, but no skanky push-ups, you are on your honor.
“skanky” pushups? I’m curious as to what qualifies as skanky. I will do my daily pushups, and will come to the challenge on October 16th if that’s cool
skankiness is one, or more, of the following winged scapula, hip piking or sagging, the dreaded torso wave and finally, the head droop.
NICE! I’m in…I’ve always felt that I needed to be 5150′d
