    I'm interested! :p

    I've started a few push up challenges in the past but never stuck with them. I will be interested to see your progress and maybe seeing the results may motivate me to start again and stick with a challenge.

    Good luck. ;)

    How many can you do fresh, non-stop at the moment?

    What are your stats..weight, bench etc.?

    Good luck!

    Thanks! This is the one im doing

    Im following the middle one 6 to 10 push ups. I more than likely could of done the out side one 11 to 20 as i never did the test but i say i could do about 18 good form push ups in a go, but im in no rush goal is the same at the end:)

    I haven't done a count yet, my guess would be 18 I will check on my rest days at the weekend. No stats haven't gotten around to taking them but will update them when I do. No idea what I bench either havnt done weights in a long time!

    Throw in some decline push ups into your training (legs raised..on a chair for example). It increases the pressure on your upper body, helped me with increasing my reps!

    Also, work out those triceps, they're crucial to improving your push ups! Otherwise your arms are gonna get tired quickly!
