    Week 4 Day 3 (col 2) - 23/28/23/23/35 - 2 minutes between each set except last one I got distracted and took 10 minutes before the 5th set.
    While I still have my exhaustion test this weekend, looking at the numbers and where I am now, next week I will probably do Week 4 again but this time in Column 3. Sets of 25 I was doing before this but not at such quick intervals / rest periods (usually I would break up a work-out so the sets were spaced a bit apart.) so I figure I'd better do this right rather than rush to week 5.

    Week 2 - Day 2 complete - 14 in last set (on toes). The extra 30 seconds between sets do help as I found it much less of a struggle than week 2 - Day 1. Even managed an extra 1 at the end of the required 13 so I'm a happy girlie today :)

    Well done everyone.

    I'm behind because of my shoulder, but good news is it feels better today so think I'll be able to get mine in tonight or tomorrow. Think I hurt it climbing on Sunday rather than from the push-up challenge, probably shouldn't have done the challenge on Monday though!

    Will make up for lost time though and get back on track for the 100 in 6 weeks!

    Hmm Just did my exhaustion test: 16. That's at the bottom of column 1. On the first exhaustion test I did 10 pushups so was near the top of the second column. I'm happy with the increase from 10 to 16, but I'm thinking of repeating week 2 rather than go on to week 3. I could do column 3 on week 2. Any thoughts?

    Well I'm back today so will be logging mine later.

    Probably going to start week 2 again as I only did day 1 of that. Darn, still might make the 100 in 6 weeks though...maybe!


    Well done on week two and good luck with week three everyone, starts today!

    Well unfortunately I'm out for a while :(

    I have a stress fracture of my femur and it's hurting more than it was three weeks ago. Just tried push ups and it makes it worse. I thought it was a muscle injury but now it's looking like a stress fracture. Probably shouldn't have been trying to run through it! I have had a weeks rest last week and it's as bad/worse than before.

    Sorry guys. Keep up the good work though! I'll run another one as soon as it's healed!

    I didn't get yesterday's pushups in, ended up shoveling snow last night. I'll get them done tonight :)
