#75	Not A Trackie November 8, 2009 at 6:48pm 2:09 mother reply
#74	Lance November 8, 2009 at 6:43pm i think you are out of shape easy 2 min for a 100 pushups the right form and everything. i can still hit 10 min with a 50 pound pack on. reply
#73	Ol-n-slo October 27, 2009 at 7:24am You could use a sun dial to time me with 100 push-ups. reply
#72	Auxc October 20, 2009 at 11:22am is this tom clark? reply
#71	Joe Sommers October 19, 2009 at 9:46pm whoops typo, how'd she do that reply
#70	Joe Sommers October 19, 2009 at 9:45pm UGHHHH 3;08 hows she do that reply
#69	Ryan From Flotrack October 19, 2009 at 9:45am i just did 100 pushups and 150 crunches in 5:37. nothing great but i'm on the comeback!! watch out coaches reply
#68	Kevin Fuller October 12, 2009 at 9:21pm I did 100 about 6 months ago after working on the 100 pushup challenge. Have no idea what the time was, but the firt 70 or 80 were done at a good pace and then it slowed from there. If not in shape for pushups it is painful. reply
#67	Meow October 12, 2009 at 7:10pm Anonymous Coward said: “60+10+10=80, not 100. just so you know.” wow i was saying that i followed that pattern until i finished.... reply
#66	Chase Menard October 8, 2009 at 12:15am 2:44, I just beat it, and I'm so sore now and I had to get picked up off the ground, haha. It's a very good challenge, bring on some more Karina, haha reply
#65	Littlenukebo October 7, 2009 at 11:31pm hahaha! "Holy Balls" OMGosh that was funny!! cheaters never win Ry! get those elbows locked! p.s. could u post a vid of Karina's push-up thing? reply
#64	Katie Krehlik October 7, 2009 at 9:10pm 4 minutes 34 seconds.... Hard!! reply
#63	Kjn Head Coach October 7, 2009 at 4:09pm If you do a push-up with a good technique (at least finishing you movement with elbows 100% straight), it takes a little bit more than 1 sec (more like 1.3 sec each up and down cycle). So, withtout taking rest, you can't do better than 100 x 1sec...1:40. It means that someone can't take a break and still go under 1:40 because 100 well done push-ups would take between 1:40 and 2:00. Anything better than that needs a video to prove that you did the push-up with proprer technique. reply
#62	Lanny Doan October 7, 2009 at 12:29pm 1:37 for 100, 85 without stopping and I am only 53 reply
#61	Kjn Head Coach October 6, 2009 at 7:49pm I gave all I had...and got 10:37. I suspect all of those who did times under 4 minutes to have either lie or uncorrectly do their push-ups. There is more long distance runner on Flotrack than anything else. And most of us are weak, thin, without upper body muscles. By the way, not happy with 10:37. Good challenge. I will get under 5 until end of october... reply
#60	Chris Lotsbom October 6, 2009 at 6:22pm Jeff, when are we gunna work together again, il teach ya how to do pushups. Coach VanCott, knowing you coach Needham, a great team, you should be able to do better than DNFing. hahah just playin with you guys, take care Chris Lotsbom Walpole 2009 Ithaca 2013 reply
#59	JP October 6, 2009 at 6:10pm Lots of people apparently missing the "100" part of Ryan's challenge. It's not how fast those first 50 or 70 come, but how long it takes to get to 100... 70 in 60 seconds is a DNF reply
#58	.. October 6, 2009 at 4:28pm Here I come... reply
#57	Hova October 6, 2009 at 3:54pm watched a friend do 70 in 60 seconds reply
#56	Dan Knewitz October 6, 2009 at 2:33pm Until I see a video of someone topping 2:47 I will believe nothing. reply
#55	Nick October 6, 2009 at 12:36pm What's up with the porn music? reply
#54	Ryan Larson October 6, 2009 at 12:23pm 2:27. This was harder than I thought it would be. I've got some work to do. reply
#53	Honest October 6, 2009 at 11:59am 13:55...at least it's not: a) a lie b) a DNF Thanks for the challenge Ryan reply
#52	Nick Higgins October 5, 2009 at 11:27pm I got my two friends to do it as well. They got 5:41 and 5:28 reply
#51	Nick Higgins October 5, 2009 at 11:27pm I did it in 9:13 lol. I knocked out 50 in 50 seconds, but then just gave up after it started hurting and just rested as long as possible. reply

#40	Karen Bagley October 5, 2009 at 7:08pm 3:01. 50 straight in 42 seconds. those last 50 were...painful... to put it mildly. reply
#39	J. A. Cisneros October 5, 2009 at 7:03pm did 49 and stopped...I'll try again in a few weeks reply

The Pushup Challenge Begins...

My friend told me she did 100 pushup in 2:47. I remember I used to rock out pushups, 4x30 pretty regularly, back in the college days when I was in shape. I thought I had some man power that would carry me to the glory days so I took the challenge. It was not as easy as I had expected. I need to get in shape!

This is kinda fun to try, but can also be very painful. If you want to try throw up the video under the comments here. But don't tell your coach it was my fault if you are sore for the next week!! ;)
