Push-Up Challenge Starts Thursday, July 8 6


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!

    “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.
