On FB I'm getting St Jude's 'ads' for "3,000 push up challenge for November." That's 100 pushups per day for 30 days. STPoll: Could you do that?

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Oct 24 '22, 12:43

I know I'm out of shape, but even at my mostly-best I don't know that I could do 100 push ups a day, let alone 30 days in a row. It's not something to just start at on Nov 1.
My arms wouldn't work after a week I think.

Not at the moment. But I’m trying to get there. - Will Hunting Oct 24, 13:38
I'll try it -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 13:14
I do 40 every morning, have for years. I could repeat it later in the day, so maybe after a week of that I could up it to 100 .. (?) -- nm - mud Oct 24, 13:14 5
- I just tested this. easily did another 40 (~4 hrs after the morning 40) -- nm - mud Oct 24, 13:24 4
  - Hell, you should be good for 120! - Spawn Oct 24, 13:28 3

I could. But that's a lot of effort I'm not really interested in putting out. -- nm - pmb Oct 24, 13:10
nope. I wouldnt be able to type after a couple of days from the strain put on my hands - tRuMaN Oct 24, 13:09 1
- Knuckles? -- nm - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 24, 13:10
I think so. You don't have to do all 100 at once. I think I could do it by breaking them up if I could remember to do them. -- nm - Dano Oct 24, 12:59 2
- I should consider giving this a try. I really should add some upper body strength training to my running. -- nm - Dano Oct 24, 13:12 1
  - Make sure you mix it up with different exercises like pull up, rows, dips, etc. -- nm - Krusty Oct 24, 13:29
100 a day is no problem and I could probably do it every day but I wouldn't want to. Your body needs rest days and I normally do pushups as part of - Krusty Oct 24, 12:57
Hell no -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 12:54
over the course of a full day, probably. For 30 days in a row...oof. I'd have to break them up but we routinely do pushups at the gym but generally - oblique Oct 24, 12:51

- I'm sort of wondering what percentage of the US population *COULD* do it, regardless of age. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 12:55
just do one on the first day, and double each day. -- nm - psilotum Oct 24, 12:49
My long arms are ill-suited. Give me a task where I can use leverage. -- nm - Barynn Oct 24, 12:49 1
- You should see me attempt a military press. It's downright comical. -- nm - Barynn Oct 24, 12:54
if ten each hour for ten hours a day counted, then possibly sure -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 12:49 1
- I already do pushups around the clock! -- nm - Harrison Ford Oct 24, 13:17
Nope. -- (edited) - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 24, 12:48 2
- Apparently I overestimated. - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 24, 12:57 1
  - Just do 10 at the top of every hour from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM -- nm - Dano Oct 24, 13:01
No chance with my shoulder. -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:47
a few years ago I probably could but no way could I now -- nm - decline Oct 24, 12:47
I'm in! I'll give it a try -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 12:44
Hell no -- nm - Epiphany! Oct 24, 12:44
