    yes_i_can when we check in Sunday, are we giving you the numbers totaled from all five sets or how many we were able to do consecutively in set 5? just so I know exactly what numbers I'm giving you.

    But whoo Week 1 is done!!! Time to celebrate with huge glasses of water.

    Everyone - you will post (or PM) your measurements and the number you did in the last rep of day 3 of each exercise for the week - where it says "max (at least #)."

    Please remember to send your week 1 progress today or tomorrow. I will post the rankings by Wednesday.

    Thanks, onyxgirl17! By your "32+," did you mean 32 or 32 over your initial test results?

    Either way, great work - just want to be sure it's accurate on the log! :)

    Know this is a day late ... Sundays are a tough day for me to be at the computer. If it's too late, that's okay, I don't expect you to track my progress...but if it's okay, I'll keep going !!!

    W1D3:

    Dips: 15
    Squats: 20
    Sit-ups: 30

    I have had no change in my measurements.

    This is kicking my butt. My legs are killing me because in addition to this challenge, I've been helping my son with his new house. Latters can be painful ... lol.

    Week 2, Day 1

    Dips: 9
    Squats: 19 (slightly bummed I did fewer than last Friday, but it just means I keep working on it)
    Sit ups: 40.
    Push up: also 9 and considering I couldn't do more than 4 or 5 in a row in high school that's quite the accomplishment.

    So sore, still hating dips, and wondering how on Earth am I going to make it through the progress test at the end of the week. Good luck with tomorrow guys. :)

    Everyone is doing so well!! The August 12 official rankings are:

    1- baturtle
    2- ArtemisXXII
    3- gatorento
    4- chicksnbunnie
    5- yes_i_can
    6- MztRii
    7- Sbehlmer
    8- froeschli
    9- stonea22
    10- kristapennie
    11- mwoodee
    12- RoseG1
    13- sarah692
    14- Pr2719
    15- mariapg25
    16- amc119
    17- onyxgirl17
    18- wordsmith728

    Again, this is based on the average % improvement from your initial test results to your last "free" set of each exercise for the week + the average % improvement on your measurements. If you sent me reps without measurements, I assumed they didn't change (make sure you send them next week if that's not the case).

    The following individuals who sent in initial test results did not report Week 1 results. If I don't hear from you soon, I'll assume you've decided to pursue other exercises and will take you off the list. afteil, amandatim2. amydarling201, BrandiD56, Cerdwin, fitzmaster, freew67, goodcoffy, Iwillblossom, jnhu72, kdward83, Metathesis, miatavixxen, Minu135, mistybkarma, MrsSamB, pleytem

    Good luck with Week 2 (or whatever week you happen to be on). Hopefully your body is adjusting and no feeling as sore by this point. ENJOY!! :happy:

    kinda sucks that I did second to last. Guess I should not have done so well on my initial test :p. After my initial test I was sore for days. It even started me out at week three. I don't know if I should feel discouraged because I've been working really hard, I did 200 sit ups today, 165 squats, and 80 dips.

    Thanks, onyxgirl17! By your "32+," did you mean 32 or 32 over your initial test results?

    Either way, great work - just want to be sure it's accurate on the log! :)


    32 on the last set, I was showing the + because that's what the screen shows :)

    I know I did worse than my initial test. But on the day of my initial test I did one set. Now I've been doing 5 sets lol.
