WOW! After 30 my moobies hurt and I quit. I did some Friday evening, but I have a sporadic commitment to the effort....

What ^^^ said. Only, I guess maybe that would be 'woobies' using that logic.

I do about 30 every time I go to the trainer, I'm not really committed to the effort at all.

For what it's worth, aside from being able to do more pushups, I'm not really sure it's doing anything for me

Matt, I promise you are stronger than you use to be. Pushups are not a great bulk exercise, but they develope what I call functional or practical strength.

So if a bunch of League of Shadows dudes bust into my house and set it on fire, and a beam falls on me, Alfred won't be able to grief me for not being able to push it off me?

I hope that's true!

Or could just preventitivly do random pushups in public so that the League of Shaodws dudes wil know not to waste their time.

This!

What it does for me is allow me to pick up and throw hay bales much easier....and haul sacks of feed around too.

^^ Skills I do not require. And if I did, I'd just call you!

Haybales, sacks, dead bodies.....it just makes it easier and thats what counts!

I made it up to day 326 (yesterday), but decided I'm taking today and possibly the next several off. My shoulder has been bugging me for about a week and a half, and doesn't seem to be improving (though not getting worse), so I'm thinking rest is needed. It doesn't hurt when I'm doing push-ups, but a variety of other things do hurt it, which I've been careful to avoid. Not sure if the push-ups are providing extra strain that's preventing healing, but figure I should give it some time and see.

I fully intend to make up the missed ones, though that's going to really suck later on!

I did the math today and realized I have over 2,600 push-ups to make up, in 31 days... I may have over-committed to that one.

If you want to keep your shoulder, I'd recommend re-assessing the situation.

So...verdict please!

Day three back to it, thus far I've done my daily ones and made up 200 of the deficit. No problems thus far, but no desire to push too far either. Don't need persnickety shoulders going into snow shoveling season!

Nope, sure as heck don't!!!

19 days, or 6,764 push-ups left in the year! 2,000 left to make up on top of that. Probably not going to happen.

But for perspective, at least 58,031 have been done year to date. I probably should've tracked the extra ones the first month or two to help offset my current deficiency! Drats for poor planning.

You'll know better next time.

2012 and 2014, that means I'm off until 2016! I'll forget by then.

Thanks for motivating me Joker, by not being supportive at all!

I'll have you know that I have 200 left to complete today and will have done every single one that was required of me for the whole year. I had to do almost 650 yesterday, and as many today, but in the end, it'll be done and I can kind of feel good about that. Then take a few days to get to the point that my shoulders loosen up enough to be useful again!

Holy Cow! I am impressed! Any time you need me to be unmotivational...just let me know!

I'm also impressed. I'd lose count trying to catch up.

I'll be participating in the burpee challenge at work. We'll see how it goes.

I kept a note in my phone with my current count and subtracted off as I went. I definitely wasn't keeping track in my head!

I'm glad to not have to do them anymore! Next week I'll have a fitness test to see how many I can do in a minute, so I'm taking a few more days off to recover my shoulder a bit but need to keep doing some at least just to be prepared.

I intend to get my two pushups done today, but maybe not at the same time.
