Right. That pisses me off. I could have gone way past 30 had I not rested. Oh well, I guess it'll be easier to get to 100 consecutive. I will update the google page

just a suggestion, but you might want to try varying the types of pushups you do, which will help increase the intensity and work different body parts. Try adding:
Decline Push-ups (increase intensity and difficulty)
One-legged pushups (help work the core)
close grip push ups (triceps)
when doing decline push-ups you can start with a slight decline and eventually you should be able to work your way up to a larger incline

IN. I'll start tomorrow or Monday. I just recently started lifting again, so I'll do pushups rather than bench and see what happens.
ETA: Decided to see my initial max tonight. After an hour on the elliptical and about a 5 minute rest I was able to crank out 29 pushups.

IN, but just ate a bunch of icecream. Guess I'll do the initial max on Sunday and start the program Monday.
ETA: Initial test did 35. Kind of surprised myself.

#####, I can throw a Cheeto over a Mt. Everest. 100 pushups is no big thing.

100 pushups in 4 sets.
Once you do that, repeat the last set or keep escalating. Reps build fast. If you cant get close, do what you can, then do 100 against the stairs.

The chances of making to Ol' Mexico? Sounds like the test of all tests to me....I'm in.
Max of 23. I used to do three sets of 100 back when I was 18. I would love to get there once now (36 yrs old).

Thanks Vrana - Cool idea. 
I need some motivation. I'm in and on my way to 100.

Oooooof. I knew I wasn't in the shape I used to be 6 months ago (football 4 times a week + gym 3 or 4 times a week) when I used to do 70 push-ups with almost 10 pounds more but 10/10/8/6/40?? 
That hurts...
I guess my number wouldn't have been higher had I not been focusing on technique that much but still...

I took the liberty of adding in an age column to the right of our names. Hopefully Vrana is cool with that...if not, feel free to delete.

Dude, great effort...who cares what it's at now. It's what you can do in 6 weeks that counts.Not to be nitpicky, but noticed that your max test was 7. If that is the case than you should be starting out at the next tier down for your rep numbers. Should be doing..7/7/5/4/max out.Just thought I'd point out before you got too far into it and realized it then.some of you guys are in great shape. did the 10/10/8/6/barely got to max 7. wish me luck on D2.

Height: 6'2
Weight: ~200 (scale at home needs new battery, should be close but may be a little high)

You also may want to take a closer look at what is listed for your name. Someone took some liberty with "Badger".I'll be doing Day 1 after work. Love that I'm listed at 6'12 and 647 lbs.

i did a retest over the weekend and got to 14. should change it now. this is what happens when u sit on your ### for years and not work out.Dude, great effort...who cares what it's at now.

This is a great idea.
I really wanted this to be a community thing, so I have no problem with people editing the spreadsheet if it betters it.

What the heck - Il'l try this tonight. Should be good and ready to give it a try after the softball game tonight.
I predict I can do about 25 before my shoulder falls off and I have chest pains. So, should be fun.
Added myself to the google list. 6'6'' 300. Just looks wierd. I really should have played football....

I do them at work. around 8 or 9 i whip out 25-30
then around 10 I whip out another 20-25
same thing around 2pm
same thing around 3:30
5 days a week, rest on sat-sun.
considering I don't lift weights anymore this is good. In just 3 weeks my chest is noticeably tighter and the best benefit of this is my gut has shrunk a lot, as this works your core muscles. The first week my abs were killing me. Not now.
it feels good to do this, its quick and straightforward and you are giving your body a good future as you strengthen your core muscles, this will help your back and your posture as we get older (think 50 and older)

Does anyone ever walk by your office when your doing this?

Embarrassing, but it looks like I'm going to be the first one to repeat a day. I'm not feeling well, and I just couldn't pound out day 2. I look at the spreadsheet and see people twice my age pounding 10 gazillion, and I can't do day 2.
Oh well, I'll keep trying until I get it.

Where I work it's a ton of cubes and there are a group of guys that do pushups in the middle of them all day long. WhileI applaud them for their committment to staying healthy I kind of question the "where" considering we we have a small gym in the office.
