I'll play. I do 100 when i first wake up, then at noon another 100, and before I shower another 100. I want to eventually get into the 120's in two minutes. I've been at this for almost three months now. I'd successfully hit 100 and 101 in two minutes, so I need more work.

I'm also working on situps, doing 125 three times a day. I don't do any on sundays as I"m recovering from the night before and it's Sunday, I don't do anything on Sundays.

I'm tryin to get better at running, which is hardest for me. I hate RUNNING with a PASSION. If you can get me running a minute faster in 6 weeks, I want that program...Currently at 2 miles in 12:14....which I think is slow.

Former military going back in, hence the standards I'm searching for.

By looking at your avatar, Ahnold, I believe you.

I'm going to try the program, too. Initial test - 25. :(

Correct, I am just curious how peoples success was doing this and if they really reached 100 pushups in 6 weeks.

I am 6' and 256lbs and did 14 pushups as my test so I will be starting this today and see how far I get.

I do 400 push ups every other day...in sets of 40. My shoulders/chest and tri' are ripped because of them. I have done 60 straight in the Marine Corps though and thats my best effort. Im now 6'4"/290lbs.

NO. I did 6 years in the Armed Forces doing push ups and sit ups and running all the time. I spent 18 months overseas, 6 of which in a combat zone. If I wasn't working, I'd work out. I had nothing better to do. I'm not a huge guy, 69", 155#. How many push ups and sit ups can/do you do? Daily? How about run? It's not really that difficult to do if you do it daily, or every other day. You dont' have to be ripped or take super shakes, just in shape. I could careless about your thoughts on me. All of my PT tests/scores and APFT's have been between 90 and 101 counts for situps and push ups since 06. Two miles in 12:25 to 11:54 since 05.....

I didn't know if it was sarcasm or not, my bad haha. I'm starting to move away from free weights and move toward push ups, pull ups, sit ups and running because that will get me a job (military/law enforcement). How did you build up your stamina for running? Running kicks my ass.

I just ran, and ran and ran. I really suck at running. I never had that natural ability to run, it always came difficult to run distances. I am quick at short distances (i.e. - baseball/football) but anything after that..forget it. All I did was run, run, run. I'd vary between an actual 2 or 3 mile steady run one day to running sprints for 100-200 yards, walk 100-200 yards, sprint for 100-200 yards...etc until I'd run/walk 2-3 miles. Eventually I noticed I was able to run faster for longer and I wasn't as winded as easily. Also, running on the treadmill HURT me in the worst of ways. I ran a treadmill all winter, every other day, and when I went to the local track this spring, I sucked it up hard core. I will never run a tread mill again, I'd rather run in the rain or snow than tread mill.

Good luck, it's worth all the hard work when it starts to pay off! Once you feel in good enough shape, make bets with your drunk friends. I made 50 bucks by running 1 mile in under 6:30 the other week! I drank for free that night, and I thought that a 630 mile was slow too...

I'll give the sprint, jog, walk idea a try, thanks!
