I'm in; 33 for the 'initial test' before form started to suffer.
So starting at Week 3, column 3.0 -
I don't think it matters how often we check in...every day or every week whatever keeps you motivated.
I forgot to check-in last week. I am up to Week 2 Day 3
18-18-16-16-22
getting easier each time, but those last couple of the 5th rep are always buggers for me!!
I am also doing Couch to 5K and the 200 situp challenge; so hopefully I am not going overboard.
Since all 3 programs recommend a day of rest in between I am alternating between C25K one one day then pushups & situps on the other day....that way each 2 days I am hitting all the major muscle groups and excercizing almost every day.0 -
Oh, the pull-up challenge sounds like even more fun.. because they are way harder for me
I'd love to be able to do pull-ups. Have never actually completed one in my life (not to say I haven't tried)
how do you train for pull-ups if you cannot even do ONE?0 -
There's other pull up challenge sites.
And yes, it does actually cover starting out without being able to do any at all! They add a couple of weeks in where you do a lot of 'negative' ones it seems; just doing the lowering section.

Did consider doing that too, but doing a lot of indoor rock climbing anyway as it is.0 -

I want to! I'm going to find the app right now! I used to be able to do 35, hurt my shoulder and had to stop for a year. I'll do the test tonight!0

I DARE ANYBODY TO DO THIS:
Put this as your FACEBOOK status: "For every 'like' this status receives, i will do a set of 10 push-ups"
I did that a few months back, expecting only 5-10 likes.
NOPE. 37 likes. 370 push-ups. I hadn't done more than 40 in a day in over a decade, but with a looming commitment that i made to the people that like my status, i had to bust them out, and i surprised myself with how many i could do in a day.0 -
I'll check in at the end of week 1 (I'm on W1D2 right now).0

I'm in. I have never really been able to do push-ups but my upper body could use some help. I tested at level 3 and was surprised about that. Looking forward to transforming my body and my mind one section at a time. *letsgo*0

No worries, MissJacki.....heres what you do. Stand under the bar you're going to use. Ideally, the bar should be high enough so you can grab it but your arms are completely extended. Place a chair or stool right behind the back of your knees. Bend one of your legs and place the toe of your shoe on the chair. Pull up on the bar as high as you possible can. When you get to the end of how high you can go, gently push down with your toe/shin as if you are trying to straighten your leg but the chair is in the way. In this way, you can use your leg to "help" you get your first pull up while at the same time using the smallest amount of help possible from your leg. The lions share of the work is still going to be coming from your shoulders, arms and back. You can use this technique until you can get about 5. After that don't use it. Keep doing 5 until you can do 6 and so on.0 -
End of Week 1...I finished yesterday with 8, 10, 7, 7, maxed @ 15.0
-
Completed Wk 3 Day 1 (I did a couple more than required on some sets and did another set of 10 at the end)
15
20
15
15
20
10
The last set of 20 was fairly difficult. Day 2 has a significant jump in numbers required which makes me a little concerned.0 -
Just finished w1d2 tough, arms are burning.0
-
Did W3D1 earlier - first day for me as it started me then.
While I did them all, I think only the last 15 of 17 should really be considered 'good' form, so knocked the number down.0
