Repeating W3 this week - switching temporarily to a MWF schedule (with a full day of classes + traveling Tuesday and Thanksgiving on Thursday it seems like the best choice).
W3(b)D2: 10+12+7+7+13(max) = 49 knee pushups0 -
Ok, well I totally missed my push-ups today! Argh. Busy Monday. I'm going to catch up tomorrow... Revisiting W3D1! Great work guys - Keep it up!0

Repeat W3D2 for me as well...
10+12+8+8+12= 50 total push-ups...
Don't worry Tara! It's definitely slow going but it should be -- push-ups are damn hard, lady! You'll get there!0 -
Ditto on the Repeat W3D2:
14+19+14+14+20= 81
Tara don't worry- my last set I did some knee pushups at the end as well. It's slow going but it's definitely working- I can do my first sets no problem now- 14 pushups is more that I've ever been able to do before!!0 -
thanks Meag and Gonks-I'm still chugging away at it! glad to know that you guys are on the same day as me though
and you both are doing great! my triceps have never been my strong suit!! LOL 0 -
hahah! Me either!! OH man... I struggle through every single set. Especially the first one, which for the most part I find the worst. Once I get that over with my body seems to say "hey... I remember these. I can do a few of them" but the first set is just totally awful and painful. By the third set I am usually feeling much better. Who knows!! We'll get therethanks Meag and Gonks-I'm still chugging away at it! glad to know that you guys are on the same day as me though and you both are doing great! my triceps have never been my strong suit!! LOL 0 -
LOL!! WE ARE GETTING THERE!! I CAN SAY THAT I AM BETTER NOW THEN WHEN I STARTED SO THATS SOMETHING!

So, I'm a day late. Sue me. It's not even Thanksgiving here either... Just life getting in the way!
But I did do my W3D3 push-ups yesterday, at the gym before my bullsh*t pilates class.... That's another story. I see to be stalling at W3 so I may just keep doing it until I am able to complete it with a moderate level of competence. I wasn't able to hit the max on the 5th set without my form suffering. The entire set my body was shaking and I was obviously pushing myself to my limits.
I did 11+13+9+9+10(max 13) = 52 total push-ups
Going to re-visit W3 for a third time. Hopefully, third time's a charm!
How is everyone else doing, progress wise?0 -
gotta catch up tomorrow! bad day today 0

repeat WK3D3-
11-13-9-9-15=57 total knee push-ups!0 -
Hi Ladies! I've been so remiss this past week. Started redoing W3 last Monday and then didn't do the rest. When I'm back home with my parents, it's so easy to fall into unhealthy/lazy behavior patterns that I've been trying to overcome - especially with the end of the semester closing in on me *shudder!*. So, having not completed my redo of W3 last week, I've started again with W3 tonight.
W3(c)D1: 10+12+7+7+15 = 51 knee pushups!!0 -
Great job getting back on track Meredith and Tara! We all have those weeks, Meredith - Totally understandable! I'll be starting W3 again tomorrow...
Woooot !! Keep it up everyone!:drinker:0 -
So my pushups are on tab for tomorrow buuuuut i just wanted to let everyone know, I was just sitting around my room and noticed my arms are looking rather badass (at least at a certain angle). It was just kind of fun. :bigsmile: I will see y'all tomorrow for updatey goodness0
-
Gonk - Sooo wicked!! Feels good, right? I know! I can actually notice biceps in my arms now, and my back has some recognizable muscle definition... Absolutely crazy! haha I never thought I'd see the day!
Did my W3D1 today again... Or at least I tried to. My muscles were reeling and I think I was just uber fatigued from yesterday's MONSTER run.
Ended up doing 9+11+7++7+10 = 44 total push-ups
I was at the gym and had to try and do the sets by memory, which I clearly screwed up. Oh well! Better luck on Wed I hope :happy:0 -
Ehhhh so I kinda stopped doing my push-ups. Honestly, in part it's because I've had no appetite at all lately, and I don't want to over-do it and hurt myself or something. I've been doing a lot of walking lately, which has shown me some improvement. I want to start doing them again, I just want to up my protein intake first.
There are a lot of mitigating factors, to be honest. I plan to get back to it someday, once my life schedule is back on track and my diet is healthy again.0 -
will be doing yesterdays day later today!!! and i think i will be repeatin week 3 again!! yikes!0
-
halo - Hope you get back to it someday! I imagine I'll be here doing this for a while, so join up with us once again when you've got your appetite and energy back and you want to pick it up again
Tara - I'll be repeating W3 once again as well... Not making too much progress here, so don't worry! Good luck on your push-ups today!
Did a crazy workout yesterday at the gym and my arms/back/shoulders are screaming. Trying to finish W3D2 today could be tough. I may wait for tomorrow to let my muscles rest a bit...

Did ya think I'd run away with the circus? Really, I'm still here. Just have some sinus, sore throat, cold type issues. However, I did do some pushups yesterday in my circuit & I'm gonna tell ya', I totally thought about y'all. SO sorry to let ya' down. BUUUTTT, the good news is I'll be back at this after some sweaty yoga tonight. I think it's W3D2 (??), but I'll see how well I do & then let y'all know where I'll pick back up at. Promise I'm still with you girls. Not gonna leave ya', I just get a little side tracked sometimes!
P.S. Wow, look at you Meag! I see some def in your back & bi area! Like the pic.0 -
Yesterday was all sorts of crazy - so I did D2 today instead.
W3(c)D2: 10+12+8+9+17 = 56 knee pushups. Don't know how I pulled off a max set of 17! :noway: I barely got through the first and second sets - but after those, it got way easier
wooo! good to see you back here, Vet :drinker:0 -
Thanks Meag...important thing is that we are still doing it! oh and great new pic btw!!
ok i didnt have my computer when i did it this morning so i did a set i remembered which turned out being a repeat of
WK3D3!! LOL
11-13-9-9-13=55 knee push-ups 0 -
Meredith - Same thing happens with me! 1st/2nd sets are horrible and then it gets WAY easier. Unfortunately my muscles are usually killed by the max set... Grrr. Short lived, that's for sure. Great job on your challenge today! Keep it up!!
Vet - Glad to see you back, darling and thank yas for the compliments :happy: I am definitely seeing a change! And hoping to see some more in the next month. Can't wait to see you back on track and kicking *kitten* in this challenge soon!
Tara - Thanks! Glad that folks are still in on this with me because I am sticking it out to the bitter end. Going to hit 20 push-ups consecutive by 01/01/11 if it freaking kills me! Great job on your sets today - keep doing what you're doing!0 -
OK today was super super hard!!! I repeated WK3D1!
10-12-7-7-12=48 knee push-ups!0 -
Hey all -
I'm still here and still doing these- I did all knee push ups this week but honestly, even though I don't think my form was bad/off on the full, I feel like the knee ones really worked my arms idk- better? That's not quite the right word, but I felt all of my muscles on each rep which I hadn't quite felt with the full push ups. I think I am going to mix up knee and full push up workouts a bit.
16+21+15+15+23-900 -
W3D2: 14 + 19 + 14 + 14 + 19 = 80 toes
Back in the saddle again - yeah, I'm back, back in the saddle again!0 -
Gonks-maybe it feels that way since you don't have to engage your core so hard?? regardless good job!
Fit4Vet-welcome back and phenominal job!
AFM-repeat of WK3D2: 10-12-8-8-14=52 knee push-ups 0 -
Great job everyone! Glad you're all keeping up - Since I've fallen OFF TRACK this week! Back on track Monday morning with W3 - ONCE AGAIN! I need to get this down before I can move on...
Keep it up, folks!0 -
Meag-
Don't worry, I'm still working through w3 too! Mixing knee and toes until Iget through it!
Tara- it might just be cuz i'm more in control (i do them real slow for the knee ones) but I also noticed that when i went back to the toe ones Iwas working harder again, so maybe my form was off. Que sera- they seem all good now.0
