Challenge: 10,000 Pushups in 60 Days

I've been presented a challenge from a gymmate of mine. He found a challenge through CrossFitAustin.com that is called the 10,000 pushup challenge. It's 10,000 pushups in 60 days. I always like a challenge... Here are the rules:

- Athletes will do 200 pushups per day for 50 days (Another option is a scaled version of 100 pushups per day. If 200 per day is not feasible, I highly encourage you to scale it back and do a 5,000 pushups in 60 day challenge)

-10 rest days are allowed within the 60 days of the challenge

- Pushups can be spread out throughout the day in whatever manner you choose (10x20 pushups, 8x25, etc.)

- For our challenge, pushups cannot be made up (i.e. 160 one day, 240 the next) nor can excess pushups be rolled over from one day to the next. 200 (or 100) per day, 10 rest days, no exceptions. Obviously this is done on the honor system and really, you are only cheating yourself.

- Pushups are to be done with standard crossfit form (chest to ground, elbows locked at top, rigid mid-line throughout movement)

- If standard pushups are not feasible, pushups done on the knees are a perfectly acceptable substitution.

I've accepted the challenge and am going to do 10,000 pushups total. Most of our gym is doing it too. I've also got my brothers, wife and some other friends in on this. This should run through June 5th. Today is day one and I'm pumped! A simple and genius challenge...

Best of luck,
