Week 1 is over.
I can do 5 more pushups.
This might not sound like much but it will add up in the coming weeks. How did everyone else do this week?

I think doing anything more than 3 sets a day is counterproductive. Gotta give your muscles enough time to recover and rebuild.

Also, once you get past 100.. try 'em with 1 arm. Keep legs wide apart.

It's been a week? I've been doing them and i can now do 45, so ten more than a week ago. I was pretty sore one day.

Good advice, I can't wait till I get to 100ish so I can try the one handers.

wish I could join on in with the pushup challenge, but it seriously messes with my workout scheduele whenever I have chest or tri's in.

upped my dumbell bench press by 10 this month if that's any consolation.

If I were to buy some free weights, what would be the best aizes to get? Get 2 or 3 different sets of weights?

That more than counts in my book. I always have trouble upping my max bench press. I am just more suited for high reps so that's why I like doing them.

Could you do 1 set of pushups per week? If you are lifting I bet you would increase each week. A increase of 2 per week does not sound like much till 52 weeks pass. It would be interesting.
