I started this today and by the 5th set of each....holy cow what a burn!!! Loved it!!!0

Just did mine for the day I started on week 3 for situps and squats due to my initial test, and boy did it suck. haha. My legs were already sore, after 113 squats I can't imagine they'll be much better tomorrow.
I did surprisingly well with the dips though.0 -

Bump.
Will PM initial test results later this AM (currently at work).0 -
Just did my first day today. Now I am wondering something though:
Do you guys do the exercises & sets in order (for example: sit ups sets 1-5, then squats 1-5, then dips 1-5), or do you do all the first sets, then all the second ones etc?
today I did each exercise separate, but I am thinking of trying it the other way around next time. I am thinking it would be faster, since I can rest one muscle group whilst doing the next exercise.
Anyhow, just a thought.0 -

I do rotations, so one muscle set is resting while you do the next. So set 1 for each, then 2 for each, etc. I find that doing the sit-ups in the middle works the best for me.
How is everyone doing with these???0 -
I started yesterday and did all sets for each exercise. After the 2nd set it was getting tougher. I was able to break a sweat and thought I did okay, however, this morning was a different story. I work out 6 days a week, but just the concentration on these muscle groups made me extremely sore. I'm looking forward to doing this tomorrow, however, I'm going to try doing a set for each exercise and see how it goes.
Yes_I_can - thanks for starting this. I need to shake up my exercise routine.

Yeah, I do set 1 of squats, then crunches, then dips, and then take a 60 second break and start set 2 for each. I think it's much faster.0 -

Day 2 done! Situps were a bit of a struggle.
I don't think I'll be able to beat my squats this week. I only got 40 in my last set today, and my initial test was 61... so it just seems unlikely I'll be able to do 20 more day after tomorrow on top of the program's increase. I'm doing okay with everything else though.0 -
FINALLY! The weekend. Being that I don't workout on weekends....I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!! My legs are killing me! LOL. I've only completed 2 days of the challenge (doing mon, wed, fri with my other workout)...BUT MAN! Those squats are no joke. The situps and dips are fine.......The squats!!0

Keep in mind that you're already doing x amount of squats before it gets to set 5 so you probably did 40 and then some. Don't down yourself0
