edit- Whoever is digging me down obviously didn't read the link and is missing out on hilarity. - NeelxSarkar, on 07/16/2008, -5/+208I bet out of all the people that try this, 90% will stop after day 3.

I find it is much easier if you just lay on your back and do them. - themastersb, on 07/16/2008, -10/+170100 push ups in 6 weeks? That's easy. Just spread out 17 push ups each one of those 6 weeks and you're done. I bet I could finish all 100 push ups in a week if I wanted.
- inactive, on 07/16/2008, -0/+125Unless you're talking about those frozen yogurt things. I do the ***** out of those.
- somebritishdude, on 07/15/2008, -15/+119Going for the high score in push-ups is a waste of time. Do them in sets of 20 - 40 depending on your strenght level, going down slow to maximize muscle tension, then shooting back up as fast as you can.
- idolwalrus, on 07/16/2008, -3/+96uhh... 100 push-ups in 6 weeks? sounds easy as hell.
- xerox, on 07/16/2008, -0/+92I figured it'd be stupid, but that was actually pretty good.
- MeatPlow, on 07/16/2008, -2/+83I read *One Hundred Push Ups* and thought Yummy...I like ice cream. I hope it's the rainbow sherbert push ups!!
- DreKor, on 07/16/2008, -0/+67yeah, that's less than 3 push-ups per day!
- mezzanine224, on 07/16/2008, -10/+76How did this make front page? Is 100pushups actually code for some new linux distro??
- TwwIX, on 07/16/2008, -1/+65Does masturbation count?
- xerox, on 07/16/2008, -0/+60@Onyxblaze: do people really have to start adding /sarcasm to all things for people to get it?
- cinch123, on 07/16/2008, -0/+56I have to say that was the first time I laughed so hard I cried at any comment section, of any kind, on any website. Friggin' hilarious.
- Lewie, on 07/16/2008, -1/+56LMAO! That was amazing!
(edit: omg, it keeps going!) - h4mx0r, on 07/16/2008, -1/+49@Onyxblaze: Then hold your shift key for our sake.
- brettmurf, on 07/16/2008, -15/+60Way to copy the entire first comment from the reddit article, jackass.
- Gartland32, on 07/16/2008, -4/+46Its not a waste of time. Its a good way to see how far you have gone. It shows you how much you have improved.
- Sererena, on 07/16/2008, -3/+44Someone needs to put that on digg. Epic.
- shawnanigans, on 07/16/2008, -0/+40I would but American Idol is on.
- Mitchbones, on 07/16/2008, -5/+45Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to eat 100 big Macs, but take it from this old McDonald's rat, I've spent my entire adult life eating at McDonnald's, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.
If you only eat big Macs one part of your body (and that's all a single burger type like Big Mac is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.
Big Macs basically only train the gut muscles and to some extent, the esophagus. What you really want to do is train your entire digestive system, all the major gut groups (esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, and kidneys) at the same time, over the course of a Big Mac meal. So, you will need to add large Big fries, and Large coke with it. Ask for the "Go Big" program.
I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three big meals! Falling in love with eating big Macs, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.
But do it right, okay?
My advice, find any McDonnald near you, with qualified burger flippers who will design your burger for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for physical fatness. Three to 5 burgers a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).
And don't worry about being embarrassed or not being out of shape the first time you walk into McDonnalds. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.
Now get out there and get fat! :-) - pe5t1lence, on 07/16/2008, -0/+37Remember the Flintstones ones with Nerds candy in them??
- ewsherm, on 07/16/2008, -0/+35make me.
- jefuchs, on 07/16/2008, -2/+35That's it. I'm switching to Reddit! I bet I could post a hundred comments a day!
- lot665, on 07/16/2008, -1/+33start with push backs from the dinner table
- Gartland32, on 07/16/2008, -0/+31Pull-ups (or better yet, muscle ups) are the ultimate way of testing upper body strength.
- vkkim, on 07/16/2008, -41/+72Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to do a hundred pushups, but take it from this old gym rat, I've spent my entire adult life in the gym, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.
If you only train one part of your body (and that's all a single exercise like pushups is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.
It's like putting a powerful engine in a stock Toyota Tercel. What will you accomplish? You'll blow out the drive train, the clutch, the transmission, etc., because those factory parts aren't designed to handle the power of an engine much more powerful than the factory installed engine.
Push-ups basically only train the chest muscles and to some extent, the triceps. What you really want to do is train your entire body, all the major muscle groups (chest, back, abdomen, legs, shoulders and arms) at the same time, over the course of a workout. And don't forget your cardiovascular work!
I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three cheers! Falling in love with exercise, eating right, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.
But do it right, okay?
My advice, find a good gym, with qualified trainers who will design your programs for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for physical fitness. Thirty to 45 minutes a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).
And don't worry about being embarrassed or not being in shape the first time you walk into the gym. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.

- Beevo, on 07/16/2008, -1/+31I can do 76 at once but I just got out of the Army 6 months ago. I'm sure if you give me another 6 months I'll be down to 20.
- Jellars, on 07/16/2008, -3/+33As a gym guy myself, I can completely confirm this.
If I see a fat person in McDonalds scarfing down a trayfull of Big Macs, I'm going to be a judgemental arsehole.
If I see a fat person on a treadmill at the gym, actually working up a sweat, I'm thinking "Good on ya, mate". - Renster84, on 07/16/2008, -0/+29i bet you still wont do it though haha
- AKBryant54, on 07/16/2008, -2/+28Well, if you're going to copy/paste you might as well do it right, ok?
Why reddit is better than digg: http://www.reddit.com/info/6nz1k/comments/c04ehte - LooterMcBeer, on 07/16/2008, -2/+27The reason you do pushups is if you dont want to lift weights. When you are on a diet you will notice a minimum 50% difference in working out and not working out while on the diet. When muscles get worked they tear down basically. Your body has to build them back up. When it does it burns calories. Burning calories is a good thing is it not? Muscles rebuilding burn calories while you are sitting on your butt playing games. So lets do this equation. Eat good, 30-45 minutes of cardio plus some pushups every other day means you can sit around and game the other 23 hours of the day and actually lose weight! Hell of a concept!
- DiggMeTo42, on 07/16/2008, -0/+23I find it amazing how no one messed it up for so long. I'd bet diggers would never have been able to do this. There would have been some ***** to mess it up.
- liljay2k, on 07/16/2008, -0/+22Website down, they can do 100 pushups but cannot handle 100 server hits.
- blitz718, on 07/16/2008, -1/+22lol "i bet i can eat 100 big macs"
