    Well done you and everybody else on this journey :) am actually looking forward to tomorrow and 8 sets as the first 7 are lower reps (and if I tell myself that enough times I may even believe it lol).

    Week5 Day2 Col2

    18/18/20/20/14/14/16/30 (150) The Max rep only met Col 1's minimum so will move down to col1 for Day3 I think.

    Interestingly in the previous day I totaled 153 pushups so it would appear less sets and more reps is easier?

    Week5 Day2 Col2

    It's interesting to me how it progresses. I think the adding of the extra sets is to help with endurance building. Col 1 is way lower than the other columns for Week 5, IMHO.

    Speaking of....Week 3, Day 2 complete. Following the Week 5, Col 1, Day 2 plan: 10/10/13/13/10/10/9/27 (max) = 102 total.
  • argh!!! I forgot to do my pushups! will do tomorrow.

    Everybody's doing great (even those of you who slacked off for Valentine's day :tongue: )

    (But really - medicine balls? Looks like we've got a newb who's trying to make the rest of us look bad...:grumble: *harumph* :laugh: )

    Hello Hello,
    I'm a little out of sync because of the time I took out being sick but today I did week three, day 2: 20/25/15/15/max - 30
    Phew! It was pretty tough! 30 is the most that I have done at the end of a session so pretty pleased with that, yay!

    Well done you!

    Week 3 Day 3 Col 1 following the week 5 plan. 13,13,15,15,12,12,10, 33 max (Tot = 123). Not overly happy with dropping to col1 for day 3 and still maxed out at 33. Another exhaustion test Sun/Mon and that will tell me if I need to do week 5 again or move on to Week 6 (46 minimum pushups to start it).

    Enjoy peeps :)

    Congrats to everyone! Progress!

    Week 3, Day 3 - yay, made it another week.

    Following Week 5, Col 1, Day 3: 13/13/15/15/12/12/10/31 (max). Total = 121.

    Tomorrow is my exhaustion test. I have a feeling I'll be repeating Week 5. Hope to get into Col 2, though.

    Just completed the end of week 5 exhaustion test and now think doing it after a 5 mile jog wasn't my wisest ever decision lol.

    46 max which puts me in either Col 1 of week 6 (just) or Col3 if I repeat week 5 - shall have a think in my day off tomorrow.

    First day of week 4!

    Week 4/Day 1: 12/14/11/10/16

    Barely squeezed the last one off...serves me right for doing an Insanity workout immediately before (that was not well planned).

    Started week 3 again today.

    W3/D1: 10/12/7/7/18
  • This looks like such fun :D pushups are my favourite because I can do them in my room when I remember to exercise, instead of rushing to the pool and having to get changed. What a pain. Will start officially tomorrow!

    Have not done exhaustion test. Was out of town all day Sunday, plus training for a 5K....tonight's training for that wiped me out (final week of a couch-to-5k program - 30 min run).

    I'm going to go ahead and repeat Week 5, Col 1 starting tomorrow. I feel sure my exhaustion test would've kept me in that column or barely Col 2. With this week's cardio so difficult, I don't want to kill myself on push ups, too. Col 1 should be a good enough challenge (it sure was last week!).

    And yes, at the start this was treated as an auxiliary exercise but now it's getting serious and more rest is required before/after.

    Week 6, Day 1, Col 1. 25/30/20/15/40 (130). The last 5 of the final set literally had me on my knees but preferred that to not finishing the minimum maximum (how's that for an oxymoron!). I can see me spending quite a few weeks on week 6.

    Week 2 Day 1: Definitely getting a bit easier... but that final set was difficult... for sure felt the days of rest in between week 1 and 2. But yay! so far so good.
    Max Done: 10 in final set
