Muscles--I will has them

[jedusor]

I just did the first week of the One Hundred Pushups program and a ridiculous number of crunches, and am going to continue doing so on a regular basis. It is good for stress and also maybe I will be able to see a difference between my relaxed arm and my flexed arm! I'm excited.

I won't bore you guys with the details--the people over on rawr_comm will have to put up with that. This is just a hay-guyz-lookit post to motivate me to keep it up so as to be ready for people to ask me how the program's going in a month.

Way to go!

I just read the 100 pushups page, and did the test. 1. I think I'll start with the knee pushups then...

Hey, no shame in that! Better five knee pushups than one "real" one.

Not really. Pushups on the knees don't require as much effort as formal ones do. When you're building muscle you have to do reps to exhaustion and the faster you reach that point the less time you have to spend working out. Longer workouts and more reps isn't always a good thing.

Wow, I just realized how horribly insensitive that came off! Kudos to you for doing pushups period! I was just trying to give some advice about sets and all that and I totally came off like a jerk and I'm sorry ^^;

I've been doing 100 pushups. I've found that I've had to repeat most weeks, because it moves faster than I do, but that's OK. I was at the gym on Saturday & got a peek of myself in the mirror - my upper body looks better than it has in years.

Yeah, you're one of the people I've seen talking about it. I have a feeling I'll be repeating weeks too, so don't worry about me catching up to you anytime soon.

Weird! juverna and I were talking about the 100 pushups thing yesterday, and suddenly you mention it. =)

I think we have to wait until you get your back muscles back, though, and until my small intestine is no longer trying to kill me. :)

(For the record. Current number of push-ups I can do? 0.)

Have you tried the alternatives the site suggests, the knee pushups and wall pushups and so forth?
