    Thanks for the mention Mike!

    Your pushup update has inspired me to get back to my routine on these as well.

    Have a great weekend.

    Hey Mike, check out Rocky IV for a great winter workout routine. Fighting the Russian at the end is optional.

    Thanks for the mention, but I don’t think my wife will go for a day trip to the Dollar Store 😉

    Thx for link Mike. I can’t believe how many comments your real estate agent blog has, holy cow, you touched a nerve.

    If you’re serious about getting to 100 pushups you might try the approach I used when I was younger. I used to do my pushups with one of my sons lying on my back. This worked well until they got to be 70 or 80 pounds. A 25-pound plate could work as well, but they tend to slide off. If you can get up to 30 pushups with the extra weight, you’ll find that regular pushups start to feel much easier. I used to mix up shorter workouts with extra weight and longer workouts without the extra weight. All that said, I think that being able to do 100 pushups has a lot to do with genetics as well as determination.

    Thanks for the mention.

    @MOA – Good luck with them!

    @Echo – Ok, I’ll check out that movie. 😉

    @BBC – Yup.

    @MJ – Lol – My daughter (35 lb) loves to lie on my back while I’m trying to do pushups. I need to then just do them from my knees – I’ll have to try to do a few proper ones with her on board.

    Thanks for the mention, Mike!

    A backpack full of books also works well for when the kids don’t want to play pony.

    Thanks for the mention Mike. We must have ran into each other at one point without even realizing it.

    Btw, the echo link goes to a different site.

    You may want to look up some quick stretching techniques to do in between your sets. This really helps me (although, I’ve still never been able to do 100 at once).

    @Potato – Thanks for the tip. 🙂

    @MUM – I’ll try the stretching.

    Yesterday I was inspired by my own post and pushed a lot harder – I was able to do 42 for my last set which is a new record.
