50 day 10,000 Push-Up Challenge

Rules

- Athletes will complete 200 Push-ups or a scaled version of 100 Push-ups a day between August 5th and October 5th.
- Each athlete will be allowed 11 rest days through the course of the challenge.  This amounts to 1 rest day per week, plus 3 additional rest days throughout the course of the challenge.
- Athletes are not required to adhere to the above suggested schedule
- Push-ups missed from previous days can be made up, however any push-ups over the allotted 200/100 per day will not count towards future days.
- Push-ups done during CrossFit Austin movement preps, skill sessions, and WODs will count towards the days total, all other push-ups should be completed outside the box.
- We are working on the honor system here folks so be honest, and have fun getting stronger!

Standards:

- Chest must touch the ground

- Arms must be fully extended at the top

- Rigid mid line must be maintained (aka no Mt. Everest Butt or doing “the worm”.)

- Knee push-ups are encouraged if you cannot adhere to above standards in a standard push-up position.

- Push-ups can be partitioned throughout the day in any combination.

Nice response time Shane. In case there was doubt, I’m in from Scotland. Have fun in this pressure-cooker we call Texas.

I agree with Kristin…since we are out of commission, anyone want to volunteer to do our pushups for us???

Comment by Tristy — August 6, 2009 @ 7:07 am

I’m still in!! I’m lovin it, though it is more difficult than I expected. Hard to find time some days.

Still in and on pace!

Still in!

Comment by Kim Barker — August 12, 2009 @ 7:45 am

Still in. Doing push-ups across Scotland was surprisingly entertaining. I’m 25 behind thanks to flight delays on the way home. Should be all caught up by the end of the day.

Comment by Boone — August 12, 2009 @ 8:29 am

Still in, but doing scaled (100 a day). On pace for 5,000!

Comment by Walker — August 12, 2009 @ 9:02 am

I’m still in. Doing a little scaled/modified version but still in. 100 push ups and 100 supermans a day. Trying to strengthen my lower back to get rid of my ongoing issues.

Comment by Keir — August 12, 2009 @ 9:43 am

Im in for the full 10k, I owe 200 for yesterday though which totally sucks……
