This started off as an exercise in fad-dom. Never one to miss out on a Mens Health fad, the June 2010 issue had an article about training to do 100 consecutive press-ups.

Most people think woa - that's a big number, I can do 10 but not 100. This article has a 6 week programme to take the absolute beginner up to the required level.

It's the end, so here's Ross Neumann pushing out 100!

Thank you very much for taking the time to contribute to this worthwhile cause. We will be keeping you all updated with our progress across 6 weeks with Video Logs - so keep returning to find out how it's going.

Oh - anyone not able to complete the 100 press ups after 6 weeks will pay some money into the charity themselves.
