    Wow, great job everyone!! I realized I forgot to update on my Wednesday pushups, but I did them and the same sets today (as it's quite difficult for me and I have a weird soreness in my right arm... different than a sore muscle, more like in between the muscles). So my sets were 3, 4, 2, 3, 4 - total 16. I may have to rethink being able to do military pushups and go back through with modified pushups again... I'll give it more time and see how I do. Maybe 185 pounds is too much for my arms to pushup? Anyway, keep up the great work and thanks for sticking with the challenge!!! :flowerforyou:

    Well today I did the week 1 day 3 of 8-10-7-7 with max of 12 push ups for a total of 44 push ups. At least it didn't hurt as much as it day on day 2. But my arms did start shaking during the maximum round.

    bumping this! I'll have to start this when my knee's slightly better! But you are right I don't think I can even do 10 pushups!

    I am going to have to stop doing these pushups -- have an injury to my arm, possibly a torn muscle -- the pain is getting worse and worse, so I will need to let it heal completely before I try this again. Great job everyone! Keep up the great work! I'm so glad I did this once through at least with the modified pushups and will try again, I assure you!!

    I fell a little behind this week, but will do my next pushup session tonight! I'm on Week 2, Day 1. I'm going to try to do Day 2 and Day 3 between Friday/Saturday/Sunday so that I can catch up, with Day 1 of week 3 starting on Tuesday next week. I know they usually recommend waiting a day in between, but I figured cutting it short once won't hurt! If I find it really impacts what I can do, then I'll back off.

    I want to join in with you all! My push-up ability is abysmal to say the least and I think this program will really help me.

    Week 1 Day 1:

    6/6/4/4/10 = 30 Good Form Push-Ups

    :)

    Well I don't think many people are doing this challenge any longer. However, I enjoy it and need to work on my upper body strength, so I'm going to continue with it. Today I am doing my exhaustion test to see where I start week 3. I was able to do 21 modified push ups in a row! I will start Week 3, Day 1 tomorrow!

    Congrats! I'm still here - was on vacation through yesterday. Since I got off track and went almost a week without doing a session, I decided to restart. Today I did Week 1, Day 1 (the most aggressive track) for a total of 46 regular pushups (10, 12, 7, 7, max - 10). I'll finish week 1 on Friday/Sunday, then I'll do Tues/Thurs/Sat for Week 2, and finally I'll get back to my Monday/Wednesday/Friday sessions on Week 3.

    Good job sticking with it! I really enjoyed it the first time through also! Sorry I had to stop this time, I believe I have a torn muscle or other injury in my right arm (hurt it doing Tae Bo), just sticking to aerobics and trying to let it heal... may have to see a doc soon is it doesn't heal on its own. Anyway, keep up the great work!

    That's totally understandable! Hope it heals okay!

    Week 3 day 3 done, total of 82 modified push ups. Today killed me, I was struggling getting the numbers I needed. Was suppose to do a max of 21 +, I could only do 15. But did challenge after 75 minutes of cardio, so could be reason! See you next week for week 4!
