    Did week 5, day 2, level 2
    1&2 18
    3&4 20
    5&6 14
    7 16 (I did not have my glasses on and read that wrong, I did 20)
    8 at least 40 and I did 45!

    I had a massage yesterday and I think that helped loosen up the muscles in my back. I've been pretty miserable with tension in my back & shoulders.

    Hope everyone has a good Thursday!

    Finally got week 6 day 2 level 2 done! I really was not up to it today so I just pumped them out as fast as I could.

    73 (min 53) Whoo hoo!
    I will probably test on Saturday and try to do what I can of day 3 then also. I will start level 3 again next week! You'd think I could hit 100 after doing all those sets and then getting to 73, but I haven't yet. I noticed warming up a little first (like doing some arm stretches and exercises) does help, as long as I don't do too much before hand. Anyway, see you all Saturday!

    Hey everyone! Looks like everyone is doing great!
    I tested today. Even though my numbers were high I was embarrassed by my performance. I recorded myself to check my form and see how low I am getting. Neither was that good. I was recording from the side so it looked like my arms are barely moving. I will record from a different angle. I WILL be starting this program over again when I get to 100 and I will be working on form and getting lower.

    Even though, I am disappointed in my performance I did get 93 done! I thought I could do the last 7 but my back was hurting and I couldn't get my arms to budge again. :grumble: I was SO close! ERG!

    I'm off to do five sets, as many as I can to make up for day 3.

    *21
    *15
    *15

    Did them again as part of the Power 90 Strength Circuit - seems a little easier that way but lower back was hurting some on the 21s.

    OMG Melissa, you are almost there! I know what you mean about the form, but you are still working the way you're doing them now. That is amazing! :drinker:

    I did week 5 - day 3 - level 3 today:

    20
    20
    24
    24
    20
    20
    22
    58 (minimum 50)

    I am really proud that I managed 58 on that last set, considering that 58 was the number I was able to do in my test last week, and that was NOT after already having done 150 like I did today! 208 total - I am over 200 again. Yay!

    I didn't do my regular girly push-ups today. I just tried to do as many plank push-ups as I could in a row. I did 10! When I started this program I could only do 2.

    I'll be back to girly push-ups tomorrow, but it's encouraging to see my strength grow. :bigsmile:

    Week 4 Day 1 Level 2

    *18
    *22
    *16
    *16
    *25 (min 25)

    Still feeling it in my lower back when I get over 20 but I'd probably feel it if I was just holding a plank for that long anyway.

    Saturday I attempted Week 4, Day 3 Lvl 2
    23, 28, 19 (suppose to do 23) and I was done I couldn't move.

    I'm going to drop back to week 3, Lvl 2 this week and build some more strength before attempting Week 4 again.
