6 weeks ago I entered a pushup contest with Nick Fenton, Brandon Powers and Liz Horrall. The test was to see who could do the most in a row after 6 weeks. If anyone did 100 they won. Some used the hundred pushups phone app, some just worked out a lot, I used hundredpushups.com.(+bjj)
I’m happy to report that I was able to do the most, but we are extending the contest 6 more weeks to see if someone can reach 100. Here are the results:
Me: 56 (up from 25 at begining for +124%)
Brandon: 42 (up from 30 for +38%)
Nick: 39 (up from 12 for +225%)
Liz: 32 (up from 6 for +433%)
Although I ‘won’, we all did really. Everyone lost 5-10lbs and gained muscle. Nick has had 4 back surgeries and is regaining strength at an incredible rate. Brandon has been working out like a mad man for weeks now and has really cut up, and Liz increased her strength by 5x! Liz can do more now than the boys could 6 weeks ago!
I love contests like these. Liz and I are still in the middle of one that has been going on since October09. Whoever doesn’t work out 5 days per week loses. Pride is a good motivator. I suggest you find a friend or three to start a contest. Most pushups after 6 weeks, fastest mile time, no fried food, 5 days a week workout, must do 8min abs everyday–whatever. Don’t go it alone.
