Nice work.

Hmm, maybe I'll try this on Saturday. I'll be by myself at work so I likely won't get to the gym. If I do sets 20 every 15 minutes during my shift I'll get it.

+ 500 push-ups


0 remaining, target achieved


One tube of Deep Heat and several shoulder and upper back massages later, admittedly...and I only need like one whole YEAR's rest instead of the normal week's break...but I got there.

Definitely resting tomorrow.

I never got around to this. I might have to test my push up ability and see if this is feasible.

Do you imagine you could eke out 10 - 15 per day for starters? That's about all it would take to complete it by year's end. It may entail a pushupathon on New Years Eve though. (Steve, I'm counting on you to insert an image of a pushupathon). Either here or the Testosterone Thread would do.
