    bump. i am behind, but I want in. I am gonna start on Friday and hope to catch up!

    I'm sure you can catch up. I was thinking I could skip the rest day and do a few days on teh trot, but don't think I will. It's tougher than I thought and I'm only on day 1...

    Nice! I can attest that it's possible - though I can't do it CONSECUTIVELY! I can do 4 reps of 25 - but back in July I could barely do 5-10!

    I will have to try this!

    Ooh. I just started the app, a little earlier than Jan 14 tho. I just finished week 2-day 1 with 47 diamond pushups. :) Trying to work on my triceps.

    Initial set of 25. Today did 6 sets of 25. Is that okay?

    I'm thinking about joining..I'm a little behind but I was able to do 33 consecutive knee push ups (not able to do the traditonal)...so I should start on week 3 seems like alot. I think I should challenge myself because I need to work on my arms and core strength.

    I think that you should start on week 1, level 3.

    Good luck!

    Cool, thanks martinh78 - did my initial test and this should be a good incentive to take it to the next level - I don't see where you actually enter the pushups though - I signed up... is there is specific link to do or do I have to get the phone app just to do that?

    already doing it - but to those who are just starting...IT WORKS. I'm only on Wk 3 Day 3 and I've increased significantly.

    Great program!

    Thanks for the tip martinh78 - I had to click on Add Workout or Add Exhaustion test...

    Interesting that exhaustion test really made me sore in a way that a "normal" set never did before.
    Exhaustion test Jan 17: 41 pushups, but I think there were 30-35 that were good form.
    I did 41, 25, 15, 25 (with a several minutes in between)

    I also notice that my pushups have my legs a little bit further apart than the guy in picture (his feet are almost touching).

    I will give Week 4 a whirl come next week.

    week1, day 3, level 3 done, 14 in last set
    57 total today (I cant go down to touch my nose to the ground, I have realy long arms though so that might play a factor in that)

    Did week 1, day 2 yesterday 10-12-8-8-0. I could not do the last set as my elbow was hurting (an old injury). Also I had just done a 5k run so I was a bit tired.

    Did week 3 day 1 sit ups today 21-27-21-21-50. Exhaustion test yesterday of 100.

    Also ate a double choc chip muffin and some chocolates and red wine. So things are pretty even!!
