I'm a newbie but wanted to join in. I did the initial test on Saturday and got 21 max. Today I did column 3 of week 1, and managed 10/12/7/7/25.

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.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Week 4 Day 1. Using Week 5, Col 1, Day 1: 17/19/15/15/30(max). Love the max I did, definitely felt it.0 -
Well after missing a number of days again, I'm back at it:
Week 3, day 3: 22/30/20/20/max-35
Wasn't sure that I was going to get through that lot but I did and even surprised myself at the end. Feeling a little scared about what's to come though0 -

Week 4 here for me and following Week 6, Day 2, Col 1... 14/14/15/15/14/14/10/10/45 (151 tot). I did take a 10 second breather at 40 in the final set.0 -
Week 2, Day 2
Was pleasantly surprised at the final set because the first 4 were difficult for some reason.
Final set: 12 whereas before i couldn't even do 5! So... definitely progress! And some chest definition! Woot!0 -
Week 1, day 2: 10/12/8/8/30, I'm in pain now, so I imagine it'll be greatly intensified tomorrow. :sick:0

Well hello, much-neglected pushup thread! I've had my "teacher" hat on this week (running exams) so haven't checked in much, but I HAVE done my pushups!
Week four: COMPLETE! :glasses:
Week 4/day 2: 14/16/12/12/18
Week 4/day 3: 16/18/13/13/26
Please note the "26" at the end of that last round...that's a new personal best, and it kicks the *kitten* of my "to exhaustion" test from the end of week 2! I am VERY pleased about it and looking forward to my test results this weekend! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
It's so awesome to see you all still plugging away at this and progressing: YAY US!!!! :drinker:0 -
cmeirun, thats a fantastic improvement! I'm down for a max of 50 tomorrow and that's 4 more than my previous exhaustion test so not feeling overly confident especially as I'd have done 120 pushups prior to the last set!snip...
