    Ok, I completed Day 3 of Week 5, Col 3.

    This week was a killer!

    Today's pushups: 20/20/22/22/20/22/50

    That really should look more like 20/20/22/22/20/22/30 :indifferent: ...35 :frown: ...42 :grumble: ...48 :sick: ...50:noway:

    I think, given today's "performance" on the final set, I'll stay right where I am and call a mulligan for Week 5/Column 3. I'm not quite ready to progress to week 6 yet! BUT still happy that I managed to make it through the week. I just want to be stronger before moving on :)

    Is your running training for a particular race brandiuntz? I've been under the weather the last couple of days and had a bad night (we'll leave it at that) and think I now have full blown man-flu so my 8 mile run didn't happen and doubt I'll go out tomorrow either :(

    Not sure the 100g bar of chocolate was a good idea either :(

    Hope you feel better! Getting sick really sucks.

    I am training for a 5k race that happens in 13 days. We (I have a running partner) are also doing one in June and will start training for a 10k after this first 5k. Goal for next year is a half-marathon.

    I've decided I need to take a break from the push up challenge. I've made good progress in 6 weeks, but am at a plateau, and more importantly, feel like I'm neglecting the rest of my strength training. Also, softball starts in two weeks. And, of course, running isn't going anywhere (how the hell am I going to keep up with all this?! :grumble: :sad: ).

    I'm going to keep using Week 5 & 6 days as part of my strength training. Change up which column and day I use for each session. I could already feel the difference the challenge has brought to my other exercises, so I'm VERY pleased with the results. :bigsmile:

    Not sure how people feel about me still posting here. I'd like to post which push ups I do on my days, but just know they'll vary and won't match the "program". After a few weeks, I may focus on the challenge again. It REALLY has made a difference, but I know I need something different. :flowerforyou:

    I'm still reading everyone's progress. You are all doing so awesome. Can't say enough how great this idea was and how happy I was to join it (even if it feels like I'm quitting).

    Sorry I've not be around for a few days, 'Man flu' really knocked me back so no push-ups for a few days and think I'll do an exhaustion test in the next day or so to see how far back this set me.

    Congratulations to everybody for their excellent results :)

    Brandiuntz, good luck on your running! I'm a lot like you and have all but given up on my strength training since getting into this and your idea of incorporating the challenge into your training is a great idea (simple idea and wish I'd thought of it lol).

    Yes, please keep posting your results even if your not following the plan directly, I've officially finished the 6 weeks now so might mess around with the plan myself.

    Back to Day 1 of Week 5...

    I did it, but honestly...

    it felt like poop.

    Actually, my entire workout felt like poop today :grumble: Just weak and wimpy and a struggle and blah. I think maybe I didn't get enough sleep last night or something. :frown:

    I'm going to chalk it up as just a glitchy bad day and hopefully things will feel better on Monday...

    Week 5, Day 1
    Set 1: 17
    Set 2: 19
    Set 3: 15
    Set 4: 15
    Set 5: 20

    I think I figured out I need more than simply a minute between the later sets... This sure does work my arms to the point of exhaustion, I tell you what!

    Congratulations Andy & Mikey :) I'm having a few days off (recovering from flu) and think I'll create a Week 7 plan when I start again ;)
