    Great work, everybody!!! Someone even already beat the challenge!!! (Ecce_, I think yours should be a 200 pushup challenge :laugh: )

    So, it's week 2 for most, first week for some of the newbs.

    Did my test on Saturday. Turns out I really suck at push ups :laugh: . Couldn't even manage one proper one with good form, so I've switched to alternative ones. I'll be doing column 2 but from my knees. Ah well. It would be awesome to complete this challenge using the alternate ones and then repeat it with the full version after!

    Column 2 Week 1 Day 1: 6/6/4/4/11

    Week 4, Day 1, Col 2 18/22/16/16/25. I think I should do this every other day (as per schedule) as today was hard.

    Hey alan, that sucks that you're sick, but it's more important to rest up and get well. :) We'll enjoy your company here when you're feeling better! :flowerforyou:

    Week1 day 3 done last night after some Wii fit (Haven't been on that in ages so was really chuffed to find I bet all my previous scores!!)

    Struggeled on the last set of 15 and had to drop my knees for the last 5! How's everybody else doing?

    lol at the half :)

    End of my second week following Week 4, Col2 and day 3 was 23/28/23/23/33 (130 total). week 5 looks brutal and day 2 moves up to eight sets!

    Feeling brave now so gonna start the 150 dips in 6 weeks (but from week 1 not 3 like I did here).

    hahahaha! Well done. :laugh:

    Week 2/Day 2: 5/7/5/5/10

    Ended on a strong note this week!

    I'm feeling really happy about my progress so far and am looking forward to the second third of this challenge! It's been great watching you all progress, and seeing more newbs give it a try! :heart:

    So, for those of you who are in the "first cohort" of challengers (i.e. those moving on to week 3 next week): don't forget to do your progress check!

    From hundredpushups.com:
    Don't forget, now you've completed Week 2, it's time to take an exhaustion test. Perform as many good-form push ups as you can manage before you physically can't do another one. Make a note of how many push ups you complete, and move on to Week 3. Hope you're ready for the next level! - See more at: http://hundredpushups.com/week2.html#sthash.sqRY7gjH.a9xu7uRj.dpuf
    You should be a little stronger than you were a couple of weeks ago and able to complete considerably more push ups than your initial test.

    If you managed 16-20 push ups in the latest test, follow column 1.
    If you completed between 21 & 25, column 2 is for you.
    More than 25 consecutive push ups? Excellent! You'll be following column 3.

    If you're struggling with the program, don't lose heart. Some people will still be doing less than 16 consecutive push ups, but this is ok. Just repeat the week you struggled with until you're strong enough to move on to the next level - I promise it will be worth your while!

    I'm going to do my test tomorrow, so we'll see what happens. Keep up the great work, everyone! :drinker:

    Will do my end of week test tomorrow as well and since many of us are at different levels it might be fun to work out our % increase?

    A 30% increase for me would take me to 40 which would be (very) nice :)
