I'm a weakling and doing the standing up ones. But they work for me!0

Wheat less I'm with you! Figure it's better than none at all and hopefully will help. I have never been able to do push-ups and even when doing weights could never get beyond 65 lbs in a bench press. Strangely could do quite a few reps but couldn't lift more0
-
Wheatless and betty, I was too afraid to mention that I only do wall push ups for now. I do think it is better than nothing, and can feel the difference in my arms when I do them.0

my sweetie dug out his push up bars for me, can't wait to use them tonight 0 -
week 2, day 1 completed.

Mine loves to compete too, but he has a bung elbow from years using a chainsaw and a nail gun so he can't do this with me.
Yes!!! It's too long isn't it? But I say this now. I suspect I may change my tune soon.totaloblivia wrote: »Just did week 1 day 3....does anyone else just wander off during the rests to do chores?
@Kuranda Oh
not looking forward to that then tee hee! 0 -
My husband has injury and can't do the challenge (even though he's overseas). It is KILLING him LOL
It may have been harder for me because I think I corrected my form.0 -

Yargh I still have yet to get started. Today is supposed to be a lifting day, so maybe I'll do tomorrow, Thursday, and Saturday.0

I did Week 1 Day 3 and although I did it, I don't think I did it well (too tired from a long walk in midday heat yesterday) so I'm going to re-do it tomorrow. Especially if Week 2 is a lot harder.0

You can do it! Just a few more reps and shorter recovery Times...no time for chores in between in week 2!

Completed W2D2 (14,16,12,12,17). The last set nearly killed me. My form went to hell. Not looking forward to D3. Will rest an extra day and eat mucho protein.0
-
W2D2 (10, 12, 9, 9, 13) done.
The first 4 sets were easy, the last 13 almost broke my arms.
Mental note: don't mow the 1/2 acre yard and pull vine out of rainforest trees, before doing the push ups ...0 -
I have to postpone. Been told no exercise for 5 days by my naturopath. All is well though and I'll start back up when i can.0

Missed yesterday cuz I still feel like crud transitioning into keto.
When my form gets bad on the last set I switch to knee pushups instead of full pushups, it's slightly easier, and allows me to keep my form better0
