My Powerful Body




After thinking about the powers of my mind (see previous post) my body started getting jealous. So in order to push my physical self I have chosen the fitting task of completing 100 pushups. This would be a HUGE accomplishment.

Let's rewind...

Back in junior high school and high school I was very gangly. Being called "dandy long legs" wasn't uncommon. Said, when the dreaded PE test came around ever year I was the kid who was huffing and puffing, thrashing around on the pullup bar and laying defeated on the ground after several pushups.

So, body - here is the task. Seven weeks to get to 100 pushups in under 2 minutes.

I'm designing this program off of the very simple program available here. My current record for nonstop "good form" pushups pre program is 18. I tried for the 19th but collapsed in a sweaty, hot pile.

What have you done for your body lately?

Dandy long legs! Kids can be cruel. That's awesome. How many "girlie" push ups can you do?

Hey Sarnwich! Blogger has missed you ;)

Yes, young kids often times can be kinda mean. Hopefully the guy named Mark Mernihan has grown out of it by now.

By girlie push ups you mean on my knees? I can't say I've ever tried! How many can you do?

My max right now like mentioned for full proper pushups is 18.

I wonder if he had a younger brother named Kyle... because that sounds like him.

I haven't tried pushups or girlie pushups in a long time. I think I can do about 25 girlie pushups and about 2 "proper pushups".

What is your max for "proper pushups" now?
