    Managed w4d2 for a total of 72 push-ups:happy:

    @Christy - don't worry about your progression, I'm still a week behind you since I had to repeat week 3. I can just imagine what will happen when I get to week 5 and have to retest. I barely managed my last set of 18, I don't see how I'll make it to 35.

    @Goldengirl - Happy to have you jump in, at the rate things are going I'll be around for a long time too. I may have to keep repeating weeks until I can do them right. I refuse to quit!

    W2D2L3 Push ups: 14, 16, 12, 12, 18 = 72

    So far so good. I am feeling pretty good about my level and so far I have been able to do everything. Tonight was the first night it was hard to finish those last 18. However, we did a upper body and ab work out today at the gym and am def feeling it. When is the next test week?

    Thanks djthom I will not get discouraged or give up. Today my sets were supposed to be 17 19 15 15 20. I did 17 10 15 10 10. I think I need to rewind a bit. Also maybe do this first thing in the day. Sore and tired but still happy with progress so far.

    Hey all! GoldenGirl told me about this group too, as I did my second day yesterday! I know we are behind you guys, but it's great to have a group to go to! I am also on column two, and did 10 regular push ups at my initial test. Looks like you guys are doing great!

    On my app I can reset to any day, so I reset to week 3 day 3 for today and will restart week 4 on Monday. Today's sets were 11 13 9 9 13 with 120 seconds between (it has a timer between sets and its different each time). I did the full sets without to much difficulty and in proper form. Ready to build up more strength next week!

    Welcome to new members and great job everyone!

    Completed w4d3 for a total of 80.:happy: I really struggled today and almost gave out on the last one. I will do the test either tomorrow or Sunday to determine if I'm ready to move onto week 5. I have a feeling I will be repeating week 4.

    Great job!! I hope you do well and get to move on, but if not we will be on the same week as each other again!!! So much for a six week challenge!! But that's OK, I'm enjoying it and feel much more confident about my arms already!!

    I am a day late on doing the last day of week 2. The last set of 20 was pretty rough. I will take the test tomorrow or later tonight to see if I am ready for week 3. I think I am ready for week 3 but maybe not at the same level. We shall see what the program tells me though.

    Push up W2D3L3: 16,17, 14, 14, 20 = 81

    Great job hanging in there everybody! Took the test to see if I was ready to move onto week 5. I passed by the skin of my teeth. It was a real struggle hitting 31, I will feel it tomorrow.

    completed week5 day1 for a total of 86. It was a real struggle. I did 14 knee push-ups to round it out to 100. Week5 day2 they make you do 8 sets instead of 5. I don't know if that will make it easier or harder. If I find I can't complete day 2 then I'll just go back to day 1 and keep repeating that until I feel I can move on. As long as we all just keep pushing, we'll get there eventually.:happy:
