How did your Week 1 Day 1 go? Mine was a bit rough if I'm honest. About halfway through I could tell I was going to be sore the next day and most definitely I am! I don't consider that a bad thing tho:) My reps played out like this 10-12-7-7-9+. I took good advantage of the 60 second rest period in-between sets and I somehow managed to eek out 10 pushups on my final rep. Can't wait to hear how it went for you!!!

I finished mine this morning. I will most definitely be feeling that in the morning. Until I started this challenge, I never realized how awful my upper body strength really was0

Working my arms has always been my least favorite part of exercising. I hate it! I just don't think it ever feels good, lol. I feel that pushups also help build core strength so that is a huge plus for me! We will get stronger every day!!!0

I work out with weights a LOT but sheesh! This pushups thing has really humbled me. lol :noway: I just don't like them anyway. Well...I'm LEARNING to like them. (code for: it sounds really negative to say I hate them so I will apply the Universal Vegetable Mother Rule about not saying I hate something, but that I'm learning to like it. :huh: )
My week one, day one was the same as yours, DLJ! 12, 10, 7, 7, 10.
46 in under 10 minutes, still that's not too shabby! :drinker: I know I can get better at this though...0 -
Two weeks before you started the challenge, I had started doing push-ups, and got from barely doing a few, to a just barely doing a set of 10-10-7.
In theory, I could have done in the range of 11-15 in one go for the test, but looking at the starting band for that, I decided to start in the 6-10 window, to make sure I would get a good start, and not be discouraged by not being able to do the numbers for the the 11-20 band.
So, I succeed in doing my 6-6-4-4-5 first set, and jumping ahead, I've just done my 6-8-6-6-7 set for Week1, Day2.0 -
Just downloaded 100 pushups for iphone and am going to start this tonight. I've not even attempted a pushup since i was in school and even then i failed miserably. I'm determined to do this within the 6 week limit. Bring it On!!!!!
Good luck everyone :-)0 -
Way to go guys! You are doing awesome! My arms are still sore from the other day and so are my abs so today's set should be lots of fun...:ohwell:0

awesome everyone. Yes I am quite sore just from my test.....lifting coffee cup to mouth is a complex exercise this am! Keep up the good work.0

My initial test (yesterday) put me at 7, which means Column 2 on the hundredpushups.com chart. I just finished my Week1 Day1 of 6-6-4-4-5+ (managed 9 at the end)
I AM doing straight-legs but inclined by the third stair tread. I had do give myself SOME sort of encouragement, so that I didn't feel defeatist before I even got going. If all goes well for Weeks 1 and 2, I MIGHT (no absolute promise yet
) try the Retest between weeks 2 and 3 using the 2nd stair. if it puts me inside the minimum for Column 1 of Week 3, I will go with that. But I reserve the right that, if it is lower than the minimum, to carry forward with Week 3 using the 3rd stair. Same drill for later re-tests - to see how close to flat-floor I can get by the end. :glasses: 0 -
