This was with a medicine ball under each hand and under my feet.

Ouch

Been under the weather for a couple of days, so gonna repeat week 2 and start week 3 again on monday.

Sorry to hear that and yes, take things easy and don't 'push' too much till your better

Week5 Day2 Col2

18/18/20/20/14/14/16/30 (150) The Max rep only met Col 1's minimum so will move down to col1 for Day3 I think.

Interestingly in the previous day I totaled 153 pushups so it would appear less sets and more reps is easier?

It's interesting to me how it progresses. I think the adding of the extra sets is to help with endurance building. Col 1 is way lower than the other columns for Week 5, IMHO.

Speaking of....Week 3, Day 2 complete. Following the Week 5, Col 1, Day 2 plan: 10/10/13/13/10/10/9/27 (max) = 102 total.

Dam I forgot too but it was Valentines so I'm not sure it would have gone down too well if I'df buggered off for a bit to have a workout!!

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: WEEK THREE COMPLETE :glasses:

Day 3: 11/13/9/9/14

I actually felt pretty strong today :bigsmile:

Everybody's doing great (even those of you who slacked off for Valentine's day )

(But really - medicine balls? Looks like we've got a newb who's trying to make the rest of us look bad...:grumble: *harumph* :laugh: )

Well done you! and a BIG thanks for allowing us to share your pain

...30 is the most that I have done at the end of a session so pretty pleased with that, yay!

Well done you!

Week 3 Day 3 Col 1 following the week 5 plan. 13,13,15,15,12,12,10, 33 max (Tot = 123). Not overly happy with dropping to col1 for day 3 and still maxed out at 33. Another exhaustion test Sun/Mon and that will tell me if I need to do week 5 again or move on to Week 6 (46 minimum pushups to start it).

Enjoy peeps

Tomorrow is my exhaustion test. I have a feeling I'll be repeating Week 5. Hope to get into Col 2, though.

Will do mine tomorrow as well then so lets both aim for Col 2

Completed today week 4 day 2

14/16/12/12/18 total 72

Next day is 80

Woop woop

Started week 3 again today.

W3/D1: 10/12/7/7/18

...snip...This looks like such fun.

hehe looks can be deceiving lol

Have not done exhaustion test. Was out of town all day Sunday, plus training for a 5K....tonight's training for that wiped me out (final week of a couch-to-5k program - 30 min run).

I'm going to go ahead and repeat Week 5, Col 1 starting tomorrow. I feel sure my exhaustion test would've kept me in that column or barely Col 2. With this week's cardio so difficult, I don't want to kill myself on push ups, too. Col 1 should be a good enough challenge (it sure was last week!).

Hey, no worries! Awesome work with the C25K!

And yes, at the start this was treated as an auxiliary exercise but now it's getting serious and more rest is required before/after.

Week 6, Day 1, Col 1. 25/30/20/15/40 (130). The last 5 of the final set literally had me on my knees but preferred that to not finishing the minimum maximum (how's that for an oxymoron!). I can see me spending quite a few weeks on week 6.
