We can all use this thread to check-in and update each other on where we are in the challenge.
Today: Completed Week 1, Day 2, Level 3.
The first 4 sets were pretty easy, but once I got to the 10th pushup in the last set (12 total), my arms were worn out and I struggled pretty badly with the 11th and 12th rep. However, I slowed down my pace and pushed through it successfully. I also enjoyed the extended rest periods between sets (day 1 was only 60 seconds, day 2 was 90). Thinking about doing Week 1 Day 3 tomorrow, so that once monday comes, I will be ready to start week 2 of the program. How's everyone else doing so far?

Today: Completed W1 D2 L1
I completed 33 broken down into 4 sets with a 30 sec rest in between. The great part is that my form is improving and I'm going deeper. I also completed the pull up section and completed 3 with a 30 sec rest in between.0 -
Alright--here we go!
10 this morning and 10 during my conference call...ha ha ha!

It just occured to me that you are following a plan...no plan here, just trying to do 100 "yogic" pushups as quickly as possible (2-3 days).
a yogic pushup=lie on stomach and place hands under shoulders--elbows back--not out to sides. I think the elbow position is the major difference, I'm lowering to about 2 or 3 inches from the floor with my chest--not my face. if you know a little about yoga its the "chaturanga" position I'm lowering into.
So, I'm not even sure if I'm doing the challenge correctly, but, hey--I'm having FUN!
Have a great weekend everyone.0 -

just completed 10 more (plan to do 30 today in sets of 10)...after a weekend of not doing one! They are certainly getting easier...I might have to add in a pushup twist like on fingertips or lifting one leg or something. Nice work everyone!!

Philips529 thanks for putting me on the right track! I looked up the website you listed and boy, this is not at all what I thought this challenge was about. But, now that I know, I'm up for the challenge!
I did my initial test and was humbled to say the least in rank 3! ug. Then I did 20 squats just to feel better, then was humbled by doing only 20. Oh well, I've got to start somewhere.
Total pushups to date=56 and starting the program...at week 1, day 1, rank 30 -
Week 1 Day 2: 23 military style pushups. Last session, 18, initial test, 5. Didn't get the chest pump, but felt my lower abs working hard.0

How are you feeling so far?0 -
Feeling good so far. Towards the end of the last 15 my arms were starting to get a little tired but not too bad. I noticed I'm able to go a lot lower than the last time I tried going through this program, so that felt great.0
