CrossFit Metro takes on the one hundred push-ups challenge

Christian takes the 100 push-up challenge

Internet Marketing Lesson 1: It’s always the simplest ideas that become the most viral on the Internet.

One interesting fitness-related web site called, one hundred pushups, is making it’s rounds around the web and inspiring folks from many exercise and fitness disciplines.

The site claims to have devised a simple program that will allow most anyone to get to a level of being able to complete 100 continuous pushups within in six weeks.

Christian, CrossFit Metro blogger, took the challenge.

Christian says, “Why not throw in a little push-up training to supplement my CrossFit?”, “Grease the groove, baby, grease the groove…”

We’ll report the results of the challenge on September 26, 2008

One Hundred Pushups

Can you do 100 push-ups?

Someone sent this web site to me, and I did find it interesting and intriguing - I can’t do 100 consecutive push-ups without stopping.

The program idea fits very well into the minimalist approach that we, as CrossFitters, have come to embrace with regards to our CrossFit training methodologies.

Looks like an interesting way to “grease the groove” and perhaps attack as a two-a-day complement to CrossFit WODs.
