And I am okay with that! Has anyone else taken a step back?
This week my endurance test put me back at week 4 but in the 3rd column. I tried to pull it off today, but absolutely can not manage that many yet, so I am putting myself on detention...HAHAHA! I am going back to the 2nd column.
Has anyone else felt the need to pull back a little to get the most out of the challenge???

    My improvement has definitely stalled but I'm ok with that! Based on the exhaustion test I'm in column 2 for week 5 rather than column 2... and I'm sort of relieved because the sets are getting insane! I want to be able to do quality push ups... not just a large quantity.. if that means slowing down a little then so be it! Keep up the great work morninglilli!

    I am having some issues with this :-( I don't really have a problem with the strength aspect, and I want to complete my push ups, but I am experiencing really weird popping in my right shoulder when I do them. It doesn't hurt, but it is uncomfortable and scary and I don't want to damage any joints.

    I have tried to warm up my arms and shoulders before I start, but it doesn't help.

    Aurgh.

    Any thoughts on this?

    maybe it has something to do with where you are placing your arms... Are they close together or far apart? Try the opposite.

    I really don't know though

    I don't know either Anna. Be careful, you don't want an injury.
