Shankster Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Started yesterday. Goal is at least 100 push ups a day for the entire year. Split up in sets of 10 or 25. I may add 10-20 or more per day each month. Also might add 100 sit ups a day, and probably pull ups starting with 10 a day. Anyone care to join me? I’ll be posting updates in here if there’s any interest. 20 more push ups to go for today. downlowkey, palvord, LeftyHawk and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisag Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 ... Well Shank, you are twice the man I am! I do 2 sets of 25 push ups every other day. At 65 it keeps my muscle tone and strength at a good compromise of strength and flexibility. Good luck in your new program. Shankster, tommc23 and cksurfdude 3 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

I started yesterday, and I've got to do this in baby steps. Man, I remember in my Marine Corps days when push ups, sit ups and pull ups were like drinking water. Now, I feel like I'm 80 and can barely muster a few of either. cksurfdude, gobama84 and Shankster 1 1 1 Quote G400 Driver XR 4 Fairway 16.5° Fli-Hi Utility Iron - 21° G Series 5-9 irons SM7 46°, 50°, 54° & 58° Ghost Spider S putter Nexus Laser Rangefinder Garmin Approach S20 GPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shankster Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 I’ve had to take it easy with my shoulder. It has really been bugging me a lot. So my workouts besides running all but stopped, and even then it was painful sometimes to run.Yesterday I got so PO’d that I said enough is enough and cranked out 100. My shoulder feels like a million bucks now. Or at least 900,000. Much better anyways. silver & black, cksurfdude, Mr. 82 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djahubes Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 You will quickly move away from 100. Recommend 200/day working up to 4 sets of 50, with a pull-up pyramid.

After my intestinal infection almost 2 years ago when I lost almost 30lbs I have struggled to gain it back. I have regained 20lbs but those last 10 are proving very difficult because I eat healthy. Lots of grass fed, free range meats and organic vegetables, but very little carbs and no sugar. So I would gladly take 10lbs off your hands if you can spare them. tommc23, Mr. 82 and cksurfdude 3 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ... Ventus Red Velocore 5R Fairway: Aerojet 3/5 ...

Pushups have always been my nemesis. Long arms, long travel, low reps. I’m a twig, trying to add a little (very little) bulk, but keep under the 175 Mark. cksurfdude 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteddyGolf Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I recommend baby steps and also listen to your body. Muscle soreness is a cost of doing business but there is a difference between soreness and pain. If you’ve not exercised these muscles in awhile the increased load is going to put a good amount of stress on your joints. Your muscles support your joints. As they become more able to absorb the increased load the more your joints will be able to tolerate the increased activity. Most injuries occur in the first couple weeks of a new training routine. After spending 31 years in the Army I have certainly done my fair share of push ups, sit ups and pull ups. The best way to achieve positive growth while preventing injury is to complete the exercise correctly and increase load gradually. Every muscle movement has three phases; the concentric phase, eccentric phase and the isometric phase. Your goal should be a smooth controlled movement through these three phases. Set realistic and achievable goals, be patient with your progress and expect to slide back from time to time, and good luck. I’m all in!

bardle Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'll jump in on this as well. I'm just going to do the pushes though. I've done something similar before and time can get away from me. 100 is good. Last time I did this I'd break out 10 at a time whenever I think about it and keep a tally on my phone.I have one of those fancy peloton bikes for cardio / core / flexibility but I don't do much upper body. This'll be good.

golfertrb Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I'll join you! I'm not sure I can do 100 a day at first but I know I can get there! I had my second back surgery 3 years ago (a microdiscectomy followed by a fusion) and I'm just now starting to get my life back to normal but I'm excited to get my core strength up specifically, as well as, muscle tone in general.

Goal will be 50 a day to start then build from there. Is it a time thing? or an endurance thing? I mentioned this earlier but I usually break it into 10's or 20's. I was hardcore about this early last year as well and then fell off when I switched jobs. Roughly I do 10 before I hop in the shower, 10 when I hop out, 10 before I leave for work. Then when I get home I do 10 and change clothes, Do my actual workout, then 10 after, rinse off the sweat, 10 again, 40 left and its not even dinnertime, After that I just do 10 every time I come out of the bathroom and I usually have 10 or 20 left before bed which I just knockout. Not everyone has the same schedule of course, but the principle applies that just chipping away is much much easier in terms of time and fitness needed to achieve them. Just some thoughts on this, not just for you but for others as well who may be struggling to find the time. FWIW At my old job we had individual bathrooms, every time I went, I'd just drop and do 10, wash hands, proceed with life...Gross, yeah for sure, but it got the job done.

It’s a little of both I think. I’m going to start in the morning by doing as many as I can before and after a shower. At work isn’t an option but if I go home for lunch I’ll bang a few more out.The bathroom isn’t an option at work because I’d be like a dog drinking from a bowl the way the crapper is set up. Finding time to do 1 set of 4 then 33 sets of 3 each day is a whole other issue.But I’m going to give it a shot.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy bardle, MattF and JAGolfore 3 Quote Wedgie Driver - XXIO X Driver 9.5 - Launcher Turbo 2 hybrid - F9 One Length 3-L - ER 1.2 Top Flite Gamer Play Right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big money Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Been doing this for a year now. 130 today , and last set of 20 I hold chest to ground and count 1-2-3. Than up and do another rep.Some noticed huge changes, not much for me. Now if you can do 100 pull ups a day you will notice something amazing or do a set of Himylaian runners between each set. Or set of box squats.
