    Don't think I was properly prepared for today, was following Week 6, Day 2, Col 2... 20/20/23/23/20/20/18/18/53 total 215 (yes, two hundred and fifteen!!!). I did falter on #42 on the final rep but picked myself up, took some deep breaths and finished but boy do I ache now.

    Carpet shampooing by hand now if I get the use of my arms back ;)

    Ron, Kudos for the ton up! And congratulations for not stopping on the last set, I find rather than dying slowly I'm fine then all of a sudden I'm beat and can't push myself to complete it and have to hold the top of the pushup to regain some breath before continuing and have had to complete some sets on my knees - this is a (very) tough challenge.

    Week 3 Day 2
    Holy crap! Today was easier than Tuesday, but still difficult... I think warming up longer helped...

    Yup, agree some days are better than others. I find that I can go well but rather than go through a stage of struggling but coping I tend to go well then die within 2-3 push ups then have to take some breaths whilst holding the top of the push up before I can struggle through a few more. Am pretty sure there are not that many people around that can claim to be able to do 100 push ups in a set and I'm (currently) one of the many lol.

    Wow, this was a rough one. Been a tough (life stuff), so I almost forgot to get this one in!:blushing:

    Week 5, Day 2. Following Week 5, Col 2: 18/18/20/20/14/14/16/41(max) = 161

    Had to go to knees on some in the max set. Whew!

    Well done for 'pushing' through to the end of the last set :)

    Great day for me and really wasn't looking forward to this... My fifth week and was following Week 6, Day 3, Col 2 22/22/30/30/25/25/18/18/55 (total 245). The last 10 really drained me but stayed off my knees this time and took a couple of breathers at the top. Exhaustion test for me tomorrow or Sunday to see if I can progress to column 3 next week.
