i used to do this also.

i got to 30 a week. along with the 600 floor pushups a week. 200 situps a week. 50 pullups. 100 curls with 50 lbs. And a baked potato every day.

of course this was almost 10 years ago, so the most I do now is lift a corona with lime about 3 times a night!
In ROTC we will do 80 pull ups, and hundreds of situps and pushups, run a mile, and then play ultimate frisbee or dodge ball in both though we are allowed to do anything except kill each other to win it's really fun, also if it has rained recently we will play leapfrog through puddles 50' long and 6" or more deep, and thats only an injury free PT shcedule it gets much more dangerous and competetitive with games such as bull in the ring, pushball, full contact soccer, and more. My mom thinks that it is a great risk but my dad encourages it and I think it's great only sad thing is I can do this all day and i'm still slightly overweight.

Sounds like you need to fix your diet.

Thank you for posting all this up, I have a gym membership but parking is a PITA. Usually have to go very early or very late. This will keep me happy in between.

I have always wanted to do more push ups. I have been stuck at 40 for years.

My OW certification dives are this coming Saturday. Can I wait and start when those are over? I'd hate to show up and not be able to lift my arms.

I'm starting Week 1 tomorrow, but I'm not telling anyone in case I screw up or forget.

Oh, wait...

Wink You can do it!

Not me! Your kidding! But my honey does them and then does 25 pull ups. I have him tested every year. If he can't do them, then I'll trade him in.
(Not really)! He is in great shape and an excellent diving buddy. If you get into the push-up thing remember the cardio also and do some running or cycling and you can do anything.
