I should make a 1,000,000 lb deadlift thread. Of course Eric62 would get half of that at each of his workouts.

Hey now, that's not far. Brikis, Deeko, you, and me would get like... at least 10% of that eventually. :p

I just did 4 sets of 30 perfect pushups. And the same on Wednesday. As a matter of fact, I do this every other day....

So, my CF workout yesterday ended with 1 pushup, 1 air shoulder press, 2 pushups, 2 air shoulder presses, etc. I was already pretty wasted so I only got up to 13 sets. Since there was a 15 second rest between sets, would that count?

I'm just curious - I'm not joining you crazies. ;)

Add it on!

After this we'll need a thread with way more pushups :)

Rules question: at rugby practice we do pushups for dropped balls -- 10 per, and we do them as a team, no matter who drops the balls. At the end of practice I've usually done around 50 to even 100 pushups, usually 20 to 30 at a time.

Can I count the sum total I did at practice as 1 "session"? Naturally, this will only be going forward. I'm not going to count the ones I did last night, for example.

It's fine. I think everybody's pretty much decided the rules should be more lenient as the main point is to reach the total.

This fits in rather well with my training, as I am doing the 100-pushup challenge, and today calls for an exhaustion test. On Wednesday I did a total of 200 pushups in several sets so this will be an interesting test.... Ack, only 62 so 1538 now!

So was it wrong for me to add in Megatomic to the total since he forgot? Do we have to start over now? :p
