Update

So people keep asking for blog updates. They say they want to know how everyone is doing. Well, so do I!

A very disturbing trend is developing. Yesterday was workout 11. Here is the amount of people who submitted their pushups per workout:

Initial max	36
Workout 1	33
Workout 2	34
Workout 3	30
Workout 4	26
Workout 5	19
Workout 6	20
Workout 7	12
Workout 8	8
Workout 9	9
Workout 10	4
Workout 11	4

Great progress!

So we're officially at the point where the average person can do more pushups AFTER their daily sets than they could originally perform alone. In other words, the max set after the first sets is now greater than the initial test for the average person!

Status update - 3-12-09

Just a friendly status update to help motivate everyone on their way to 100 pushups! It seems like a lot of people were sore the first day or two, but are making some serious strides on the daily maxes!

Also as you can see the average for the entire pool of participants has increased steadily through the first 3 workouts. Unfortunately not everyone has submitted data for workouts 4 and 5, so take those for what they're worth.

Week 1 Summary

With week 1 in the books I'd like to share some encouraging stats with you all.
Looking at the entire group, our average max on day 3 was almost as high as our average initial max - meaning we're already able to do several sets of pushups AND THEN match our initial max!

Also, below is the overall progress chart - showing everyone's daily maxes. Great work everyone!

Casualty count = 1

We had our first participant drop out today after just 2 days of workouts. Actually, this certain participant only did the initial test and nothing more. We're still holding 35 strong though!

Shirts so far

Here's what the shirts are looking like so far. It'll cost about $30/each for the shirts - less if more people get them.
