    Week 2 Day 1 complete - 11 in final set (on toes)
    Really really struggled to get the final set amount today. I didn't have issues in week 1 but I will do my best and If that happens the rest of the week then I will repeat week 2 before starting week 3 :)

    Me to!

    11 in last set, 47 in total. Really, realy struggled to press that last one out though. Dln't feel like I have much energy at all today to be honest. Need to eat some food!

    I am tempted, but 100 sounds so many (for a woman) or am I being sexist!?


    Okay, so I feel a little weird responding to this since I'm a dude, but here goes.

    Consider removing "for a woman" from your vocabulary.

    Pound for pound, men and women have the same muscle strength despite the genetic tendency for women to have less mass.

    I won't be completing todays as I have injured my shoulder. I'll make up for it on Friday though!

    Keep up the good work all!

    Week2 Day2 - able to do the required 13 on the final set - 0n knees - the added 'or longer' after the required rest time really helped

    Week 2, Day 2 10,12,9,9,16
    5 min break before last set because someone at door - helped!

    Week 4 Day 3 (col 2) - 23/28/23/23/35 - 2 minutes between each set except last one I got distracted and took 10 minutes before the 5th set.
    While I still have my exhaustion test this weekend, looking at the numbers and where I am now, next week I will probably do Week 4 again but this time in Column 3. Sets of 25 I was doing before this but not at such quick intervals / rest periods (usually I would break up a work-out so the sets were spaced a bit apart.) so I figure I'd better do this right rather than rush to week 5.

    Week 2 - Day 2 complete - 14 in last set (on toes). The extra 30 seconds between sets do help as I found it much less of a struggle than week 2 - Day 1. Even managed an extra 1 at the end of the required 13 so I'm a happy girlie today :)

    Tempting. I can't even do one real one. This may be a longer then 6 week challenge for me.

    Edited: okay, signed up...

    Well done everyone.

    I'm behind because of my shoulder, but good news is it feels better today so think I'll be able to get mine in tonight or tomorrow. Think I hurt it climbing on Sunday rather than from the push-up challenge, probably shouldn't have done the challenge on Monday though!

    Will make up for lost time though and get back on track for the 100 in 6 weeks!

    Hmm Just did my exhaustion test: 16. That's at the bottom of column 1. On the first exhaustion test I did 10 pushups so was near the top of the second column. I'm happy with the increase from 10 to 16, but I'm thinking of repeating week 2 rather than go on to week 3. I could do column 3 on week 2. Any thoughts?
