So I stumbled upon this website that claims they can get me strong enough to do 100 push-ups in 6 weeks. After my horribly disgraceful showing at the Ordo Elite trials (I didn't even make enough points for the 46+ age group) I decided I have to do something about my score. My biggest problem with exercise is that I never know what and how much to do, so I haven't started anything yet. After seeing this site, with everything all layed out for me, I don't have an excuse any more. Especially since the program only lasts 6 weeks, I mean, that's just a month and a half. If I can blow the tops off of all of the point charts for Ordo Elite in 6 weeks, that has to be fucking awesome. I figure if it works for push-ups, it will likely work for sit-ups and pull-ups as well. EDIT: If you look at the bottom of the menu on the left, there are links for "200 Situps" and "200 Squats." I'm going to follow the sit-ups one for sit-ups and try using the push-ups one for pull-ups. If I feel particular ambitious, I may try throwing the squats in in a couple of weeks.
So it's a 3 day a week routine, and I'll start tomorrow (so I can get on a Mon, Wed, Fri routine). I'm going to use my Ordo Elite Trial results for my base:
36 situps
30 pushups
8 pullups
I'll have to rig something up for a pull-up bar, so until then I'll just be doing the push-ups and sit-ups.
I decided I would post about it here for 3 reasons:
1.) To serve as a log of my progress.
2.) To challenge the rest of you guys to participate and post your progress with me.
and finally:
3.) To ask you all to call me every kind of horrible, dishonorable, cowardly name you can possibly think of if I ever skip a day. (and to do the same for anyone else brave enough to take up the challenge
)So git on it.
