100 Perfect Push ups (10:33)

Perform as many perfect push ups (chest to deck) that you can in a row. You can only pause in the front lean and rest position (plank position). If you rest for more than two seconds, you have to jump up and run 400 meters. Do push ups again to "failure" and then run another 400 meters. Continue until you get to 100 perfect push ups.

FRIDAY 080815

100 Perfect Push ups (10:10)

Shaved :49 seconds off of this one.  Check out the last time I did this one in May.

I guess the push ups I've been working on made the difference.  Last time I got 25-20-20-18-18 with lots of little rest periods (1-sec) during each of the last three sets.  Today I banged'em all out but probably paid for the first set.  30-25-20-13-9 for 101, one extra for the Air Assault Gods.

Next time I am definitely shooting for slower runs and only four sets of 25 push ups.  That will get me down to around the 9-min mark (or less).

My run splits were 1:44, 1:58, 2:05 and 2:02.  I wonder how fast 5 sets of 20 would be if I focused more on the run times???

God, I love CrossFit!!!

20-min Push up Challenge (246)

Found this one on the forums and thought I'd give it a shot.  Figured out I would "out-smart" CrossFit and break down those push ups into sets of 5 every 15 seconds.  That would give me a "respectable" 400 push ups in 20 minutes.  I mean, seriously, five push ups is EASY.  It took 2 short minutes for CrossFit to once again "break it off in my ass" and show me who's really in charge.  Great job (once again) Coach.
 
So I ended up doing 2 minutes worth of 5 push ups every 15 seconds, then 2 minutes of 4 push ups every 15-sec, then 2 more minutes of 3 push ups per 15 seconds then I suffered through the remaining 14 minutes of push ups (are you kidding me, 20-min worth, that's just...CRAZY).  Totaled out at 246 and I have a newfound respect for those fire-breathers that post in the comments sections, 300-400+ ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!!!
 
Did I mention that I love that CrossFit has me thinking that nothing is impossible in the first place, continues to kick my ass on a daily basis (God bless those rest days), and thirdly, well, lost my train of thought but you get what I'm saying...
