I'm going to see how long it takes us to get to 7,000

Shouldn't be longer than a week, as that's what the program calls for from me alone :shock:

Today is 12 every half hour... :mrgreen:

This day feels like it's going to be boring... Only 10 every hour

Tomorrow is a total rest day... Just 5 every 90 minutes. Then on Monday I'll see how much I've improved!

The fun part begins on the second week for sure!

I'd do it with you if i wasn't cycling 60-100 miles a week ~.~

Try ~45 miles in a morning

Wait, don't... I think I slept from about midday to about 9 the following day when I did that...

I was lured into that cycling trip by a visit to a velodrome, and the promise of only about 25-30 miles a session on the road. The teacher lied pretty severely.
So good luck with your cycling - out of interest, where are you doing it? Is it a nice place to cycle?

Also, you're not allowed to post on here without doing some pushups!

If we don't hit 6666 I'll be disappointed... Don't let that happen

Happy?

by **ElCarl** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 1:21 am UTC

6666+10=6676

Yes, I'm happy... But now I had to do more pushups so that I could post this reply.
And it's 2am over here. :evil:

by **Jumble** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 3:57 am UTC

6676 + 50 = 6726.

Insomnia sucks, but push-ups help.

by **ElCarl** » Sun Aug 14, 2011 10:05 am UTC

Yeah, you definitely need to do more pushups

Rest day for me. One day to (half of) the moment of truth.

I'm doing it in Texas where it's bloody 105 every evening until the sun sets. It will get better during the fall when it cools off but yeah, it's generally fairly hot. I did a 30.5 mile ride yesterday (saturday) morning but I did it about .8mph average faster than I've ever done it so my legs are fairly fried this morning.

That's pretty hot

Nice work

Looks like this 1000 is passing pretty quickly

Hooray! 37 on my 100% test

6791+209=7000

And that's 7,000!
The last 1,000 only took 4 days

So, tomorrow is 20 every 20 minutes... :shock:

by **ElCarl** » Tue Aug 16, 2011 8:45 am UTC

7000+400=7400

Only 400/720 done... Man this is tough

I think I'm going to have two 1-hour breaks... Still 12 hours of pushups, just spread over 14 hours

And this next 1,000 (7 to 8 ) is gonna take under two days from me alone... :shock:

Personal Total: 1,797

~~7421+320=7741~~

There is a very special kind of hell for those who mess up the numbers. :evil:

I'm going to have to do 9 extra at some point to compensate for that!
Or... I could do one less pushup! Hooray!
Also, Mishrak, you replied without doing any pushups... You will be punished :twisted:

720/720 done... I finished all of them :shock:

PT: 2,117

I've done 2,000 since last Monday!

I've already done the program you're doing, so I served my push-up time.

Keep it up! Nice job finishing the 720/720.

7926+121=8047

Well, that 1,000 took two days

PT: 2,381

I just couldn't keep to the program today - every 15 minutes was just too often, especially the day after the 20 minute one... I just want to rest :cry:

Less actual muscle fatigue, more can't force myself to stop 4 times an hour...

Yeah. I struggled with that day also. My arms were fried but I did what I could. It ended up being probably closer to every 20 or 25 minutes after the first few hours.

I'm ElCarl on it in case anyone signs up too

Man, fitocracy has dominated today - kept me from my program :roll:

However, I have done a hell of a lot of fitness stuff in general

And I will catch up on my pushups today.
My profile on Fitocracy is ElCarl btw.

Aaarghhhh... 42 one set max.
Now I'm starting the Convict Conditioning course thing, and I've decided to start right from the beginning.
So I probably won't be posting here for a while

You should totally join fitocracy though

Pretty good

Got me from 25 to 42, so that's pretty effective

+12 first week, +5 following week.
