The idea sounds solid BTB, another hard to keep track of thing but... still solid

I have no problem doing both short and long term awards, and welcome all ideas.

Check it.

Texas Push Up
Here's how it works
1 Begin in a standing position

2 Drop to a push-up position and do one push-up

3 Stand back up quickly

4 Drop back down and do two push-ups

5 Stand back up

6 Drop back down and do three push-ups, then stand back up

7 Repeat this pattern until you do 10 reps on the last set of push-ups

Total of 55 push-ups

The Challenge

Goal 1 Just try to finish all the sets, ya wimp. If you do, then congratulations, you're adequate Whoopie

Goal 2 Finish all the sets in under two minutes. Do that and you can brag. A little

Goal 3 Now it gets personal. From this point on, try to beat your previous time. Or, get a few buddies together and see who finishes first

Tips and Guidelines

1 Use a full range of motion on the push-ups. None of that halfway horse****

2 Push-up bars are fine if you want to use them

3 Most people "hit a wall" around the 7th or 8th set. So don't get too cocky when set #6 feels easy
Count me in!

This is cool. I was already planning to do the Texas Push-Up Challenge, a week or two after my meet on Saturday.

Here's another good challenge:
