100 pushups, 200 squats, situps, and a plank

Mellie289

Okay, I had a little time off since the last one to help heal up a muscle that was hurting during squats, and I started Ripped in 30 on Monday. I'm back now:


Week 2 Day 3

Pushups 16, 16, 15, 14, 20 (81)
Situps 18, 20, 15, 15, 25 (93)
Squats 22, 22, 19, 19, 30 (112)
Dips 15, 15, 13, 13, 20 (76)
1 Plank for 90 seconds

I'm hoping to do the exhaustion test tomorrow before moving on to Week 3 on Monday.

I'm now counting the first two set of pushups from my Ripped in 30 workout (on my knees) then doing the rest on stairs, as suggested my meerkat. I like doing them there better since it bother my knees to do so many girlie style. My arms were absolutely shaking through the last set and the plank made me want to cry today.

Well done! That's brilliant.

What are you going to do re your plank, start some variations (one leg up etc) or carry on building on the straight plank time?

Thanks! I think I'm just going to stick with straight plank. I'll probably do shorter times and repeat it though. I'm doing Ripped in 30 right (starting week 2 tomorrow), so I'll be doing plank variations with that workout pretty much daily already.

Oh no! Poor you. Was it a form issue do you think?

Mellie289

Good luck with week 4. I feel like I'm struggling with week 3 now that I'm on Level 2 of Ripped in 30 as well. I'll see how it goes, but I might spend a couple weeks on week 3.

have you tried doing incline ones? (put your hands on a chair, or a step, instead of the floor).

meerkat70

Did half last night, and will do the other half now. Going to split over two days from now on, as it's too much to do it all on one day.

Bump -- I'd like to do this, if it's still going, in a little while. Not quite strong enough to commit ... but strong enough to commit to commit!! Now this topic won't fall off my list.

melb2003

I'm in.

Mellie289

I have one more week of Ripped in 30, then I'm going to get back to this as my strength training while I train for my next 5K. I can't do this right now with the Ripped in 30 workout and I have mildly injured my elbow... well, I didn't injure. Some drunk idiot slammed into me last Saturday and I think it hyperextended a bit. I can't stress it right now with all the pushups and dips, sadly.
