The Bluelight Pushup Thread

[Mehm]

I love the idea of the pull up thread, but I don't have a bar at my house! Since pushups are also great, I thought we could have this thread to tabulate our collective progress. I say we shoot for 10,000. Dudes in jail do 1,000 in a single day so it shouldn't be that hard....

Here's how it works. Do a set till exhaustion and add it to the total. If you feel like doing multiple sets, do multiple additions. I'll start.

I used to do 150-200 a day, but got injured and can't really do pushups any more.
I really loved them, since they work so much of your upper body.
Sometimes I do 10 or so now, but my shoulder always hurts the next day, so I probably shouldn't.
If I do manage to get a decent set or two in, I will be back!

This thread inspired me to try pushups again.
We will see how my shoulder holds up.

Very nice! I have been doing handstands as well (former gymnast) as they build a lot of arm strength especially if you do hand stand push ups.

489+ 15=

I'll have bigger numbers in time

Haven't done any in at least a year. Maybe this thread will provide some motivation.
