Replies

alright ladies. last night was my exhaustion test and i managed 35 consecutive push ups.
It's pretty crazy to think about where we were two weeks ago versus where we are now.
from 14 to 35 is more than double! i don't know about the rest of you but i am really pumped to see what we can do after week 4!0 -
W3D1
Pushups: 67
Situps: 104
Squats: 94
I need to look this up later but I think I might go to the middle column cause the first one didn't seem like enough. We'll see. ;D0 -
Ok I am going to go with column 2. I added up the minimum and it's like 72 (and I just added it up, think I can remember??). I think I can do it. Wish me luck!!0

Just wanted to do a quick check in with you all...
As I mentioned in my last post, I have decided to start the challenge over from week 1 since it had been so long since I had done ANY working out.
Well, I am thrilled to report that my (second) initial test was this morning and I was able to do 19 modified (on my knees) pushups - that's 6 more than the first time!
Keep up the great work, all!! :drinker:0 -
Awesome Tobi!!!!! ^5!0

Sara-Jane - Wow, great job!! I'm also excited to see where we are in the coming weeks, this program rocks.
Tobi - Sounds like a good plan, you'll be so much stronger going in to this round, good luck (even though you won't need it!).
Bunny - Awesome that you jumped up a column, it's good to push when you know you need it, you're doing a fab job!
Hope you are all having a great week, I still need to do my PUs today, plan on doing that around 4. I'll post results later.0 -
I feel like such a loser. I am on week 2, again, day 2. I did 5,6,4,4 and 10. It is still really hard. And I gained back 2 pounds over the last week. Arghhh...But my clothes fit a little better and my arms fit into my clothes a little better. Every day is so hard!0

Cessnaholly, there is no shame with what you are doing! Look where you were when we started!! Everyone has a different make up eh? Keep at it and your arms are gonna rock!!0
-
W3 D2 Total = 80 Max = 19 (all toes)
Holly - way to stick with it! It will get easier! Make sure you are taking a day in between to allow your muscles time to recover. It can be hard. There are several of us who have had to back off, but just stick with it! I lift weights and do the push ups on the same day - which makes it tougher and I gotta say my arms feel like they've been pummeled!! But I do it that way to make sure I get the rest day in between - and I dropped back a column. Hang in there and keep going - we're with you!!!
Tobi - Fantastic job on the 2nd exhaustion test! You are making progress!!
One more workout for the week Ladies!!! I think we need a name for our group, don't you?? Any ideas?

Did better this time. Thanks for all the support fellow pushupers!
Is it ALWAYS going to be hard to do pushups?
W2 (again) D2 - 5,7,5,5 and 150 -
I meant W2 D30

W3 D3 = 90 Max = 23 (all toes)
Hope everyone else is still doing great with the challenge!! Can you believe we are already halfway? I can't believe that I did 90 full push ups today!! I can really see some great improvement in my arms - will definitely need to post pictures when we are done!0 -
Oops forgot to post my W3D2 & W3D3:
W3D2: 83 (22Max)
W3D3: 93 (26 Max)
Looking forward to next week. Not sure about you guys but I found D3 to be very hard this week. Might also be due to AFs arrival. Hope next week goes better.

Okay I failed and didn't get day three in this week. I will get it in here though, I'll just be a day behind y'all.

Ok. W3 D1 - 10, 12, 7, 7, and 15 max. I didn't think I would be able to do 10 - but whoo hoo. I would have given up if not part of this group. We rock! We should all post our "after arm" pics of one bicep when we are done.0

W4 D1: 21 -25-21-21 Max 35
Before you get all impressed, they were all from the knees. I managed to wrench my back this weekend hauling items to the trash, and rather than missing the challenge (! no way !!) I went to the knees to protect my back and moved to column 3 because they were way too easy on column 2! So frustrating hurting my back!! That puts a serious crimp in my exercise routine!!!
Hope the rest of you are having a great week and pumping out the push ups!!

TONIGHT my assignment is a total of 120, but i'm going to aim for 125! WISH ME LUCK!0 -
Hello all. We are all doing so well - and at our own speed. Glad we are supportive of each other. That makes all the difference.
W2D2 - 10, 12, 8 ,8, and 15.
These are all on my knees but my husband says that those count too. He was in the USN and can do like 1 million pushups so I'll buy into that.
To all of us - Yeehaw!0 -
Heck yeah knee push ups count!!! You are doing awesome!!
Love the way everyone is hanging in there and giving it your all! We are gonna have some serious guns at the end of week 6! Booyah!!0 -
You ladies are doing AWESOME!!!!
I restarted week 1 tonight and was able to do 50 total modified pushups (initial test has me at level 3) - one more than I was able to do the first time around. Really planning to stick with it this time. I feel so much better about myself when I am working out regularly and know that I need to do more for my upper body/arms.
Keep up the great work!!!!!0 -
Okay guys I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to restart week 3. I don't think I've lost any strength (thank you yoga) but I just haven't devoted the time to more than a few sets. I hate it when work gets busy. I just really need to lock my door after lunch and then bust them out!
I WILL finish this out. It just might be over 6 weeks. Is that okay??0 -

It's more than okay as long as you are still with us!!
I'm thinking about repeating week 3 also, since the injury to my back forced me to back off for several days. I'm going to do an exhaustion test today and see where I land.0 -
Sweet! That's why I
you guys. ;D 0 -
Week1 Day2 for me this morning! 53 modified (on knees) pushups which was exactly the same as the last time. Hope you all have a great weekend and, for those who celebrate it, a Happy Easter!0
-
W3D3 - 11, 13, 9, 9 and 15. Total 57 - Hell ya!0
-
Okay - did an exhaustion test: 23 from toes - so I didn't really lose anything from a week off for my back! I'll start week 3 again in the 2nd column! I'll be a week behind, but I'm still in the game!0
