    Today I did week 4, day one

    Set 1- 32
    Set 2- 38
    Set 3- 32
    Set 4- 32
    Set 5- maxed at 56
    Total- 190

    Feeling really good right now. I noticed that there's another stress test at the end of this week (like the initial test). I'll think I'll do that on Saturday.

    I lost count a few times in the last few sets, but I'm pretty confident that I did AT LEAST as many as I listed here! lol

    Week 4- Day 2 (column 3)

    Set 1- 38
    Set 2- 45
    Set 3- 38
    Set 4- 38
    Set 5- Maxed at 58 (I think)

    Pretty sure I did at least 58 at the end. Got a little lost. I guess this is where I reveal that math is not my strongest subject?

    Today was pretty challenging. I suspect Friday will be even more so.

    By the way, is anyone else using the sit up logger? It's a handy little tool.

    I lost count on my last set too. I need a handy little machine that will count them for me :)

    Okay, so I did my first exhaustion test today after starting the program....I was pleasantly surprised to do 40, yes 40 sit-ups! That is a far cry from the 12 I did to start in the beginning! If I wasn't encouraged, I sure am now!!!! PTL for keeping me motivated!!!!

    This is evidence that program really works. Great job on your progress. That's more than double what you did during the beginning!

    Did my exhaustion test after week 4. Made sure to wait 24 hours after my last ab workout, and begin my test with unstressed abs. I was surprised that I managed to push out 130 (but wow were those last 5 tough!). This is a bigger improvement than I expected from my initial exhaustion test! Still unsure if I'll be able to hit 200 in two weeks (that's an awfully big jump!), but I know the last test allows you to do them in sets anyway.

    Feeling very strong today. Considering I have a big day at work ahead of me, this is a good feeling to have.

    Well I did week 5, day 2 today and it went well. Is is just me, or did we lose a bunch of people in this thread?

    Well, looks like I'm not the only one who dropped this challenge.... :ohwell:

    It's been so long since I did any of it, I think I'm just going to start all over, other than the first test since I would imagine I'm still in the same column. It hasn't been THAT long after all! :laugh:

    Week 1, Day 1 tomorrow!
