IT’s (not so) GOOOOOOD!No, I’m not dead from the first 100. But…I’m much closer to that side of the scale than I thought I’d be. After two days, I still can’t make the “touchdown” sign. Doing the lawn-sprinkler dance doesn’t feel good either and Jersey Shore fist-pumping is out of the question.
I have two orders of 100 to get to still! Thanks for those and very sorry it can’t happen sooner.
By the way, I’m learning a lot about proper hydration and the wonders of magnesium. Don’t take this as complaining…it’s just a really interesting feeling to have your range-of-motion limited by the equivalent of a small electric fence!

Well, I just calculated: If you continue with this project like that (which means like 100 push ups per week) you'll need another 5000 weeks or 96 years to finish. By that time you are 123 years old... if you start doing 300 per week you have a good chance to finish before your 50th birthday.
Anyway, there is no need to thank me for my encouragement :)
I know. Now I'm getting sick! What a wonderful way to start off. I don't think doing another 100 with flu aches is the best idea.
Thanks for keeping things positive :)
(at an average of 1000 per week it's only ~10 years)
De nada :)
Apart from that, start preparing your mind for a second attempt to go to Hamburg in one day. I wanne try that as soon the ice crust over the promised land is melting.
Good morning,
now I started to calculate. 1000 per week means nearly 145 push ups per day, EVERY DAY! All that for ten years!? As I said, you´ll have my respect.
By the way; you could offer a special deal. Making one arm push ups or push ups with somebody sitting on your back will count twice. Just an idea! :)
Take care...

what a fun,
good morning lord sid! Typing at the same time! ;)
...und nun ist es ein dreier.
ba-da-da-ching!
Ready for the 2nd attempt at Hamburg :) Currently snowing though so it's a ways off.
I really don't get why you're switching to German. That makes it impossible for your beloved back home to follow the conversation. ;)
Almost convinced my flat mate to buy some push ups last night. But before we got to business we got wasted and I forgot about it.
May all of you have a beautiful day! Stay clean.
Nothing happen! ...
Hey Mike, I just bought 100 of your finest Push-Up's! I hope the pain will not be too big^^. Maybe you should take some magnesium after :-).
So,
how many are still open?
@Klopsbandyit : thanks! I'm finally feeling better and will get to some this week! My head's still full off junk but that's no different than any other day.
@the neighbor : I'd say a few. I have now 300 to work off. Would love to get 200 done this week. If it were 20 here, 20 there it wouldn't be a problem but it's 100 per serving. Yummy.
I'll have a video up before the weekend for sure.
Hello there. I've made a fine investment of 10 bucks. :-)
Actually it feels good. One of the gloriest i've ever made.
But i would prefer manlike push-up's. Not that sissy style (The Neighbour and i were so laughing at) from the first 100.
Thanks for that, by the way.
Honestly, i do feel with your arms. They must really hate you for that treatment.
Do you know that your own arms can snap your neck while you're asleep when you piss them off like that?
D'ont worry, they wouldn't do that. Wouldn't they?!:-)
Time for heroic deeds, my friend. :-)
So, everybody´s waiting! :)
Jep still waiting and waiting and waiting and...... :-P.
we're waiting dumdidum.......waiting so long.......still waiting and the waiting continues.........when will it be over.....
No results jet... maybe i want my money back. Come on Mike give us something!
Slowly the patience disapears........:-p
@Klopsbandit: I know a guy who can do amazing things with a crowbar and a knee. ;-) or he also produces perfectly fitting italian shoes with a bowl and concrete. ;-) no i am kidding of course. But.........:-)
Mike please give us some of your finest.
