    oh my goodness...

    i just tried the initial test again and managed 0 "proper" push-ups. that's bad. i was able to do about 9 a few months ago. that's what you get for neglecting your weight training.

    so i'll be starting with some modified push-ups for a couple of weeks before I embark on the real deal.

    :ohwell:

    Ug...I might want to repeat this week. Although I haven't taken the end of week 2 exhaustion test and I'm not as strong today as I have been earlier in the week. I think it's due to the heat. I'll let you know how I do tomorrow with my 2nd exhaustion test.

    Hey everyone!
    I'm repeating week 3 I think for the 3rd time. Maybe the 4th. I lost track. I can make it through all the sets but I don't feel I am ready to move on.
    Today I focused on maxing out on the last set instead of the min. number. It helped!
    Week 3 level 1 day 1
    10
    12
    7
    7
    14(min 9)
    See you all in a couple of days!

    Ok guys, so I did my end of week 2 exhaustion test and I was able to do 12!!! Not a HUGE number in itself BUT my first test 2 weeks ago I was only able to do 8. So, slow and steady wins the race, I'm happy with being at 12 for the second week in. Start on week 3 tomorrow.

    Hey there. I wasn't feeling good again on Wednesday and Friday so I didn't do the rest of the week. I'll start again tomorrow at week 3 again.
    How do you all feel about starting a new thread at the beginning of each month?
    Hundred pushups October?
    Let me know. I'll see you all tomorrow!

    Wow its been way too long since I've posted. : P

    I have my midterms coming up so everything was a large rushy mess and whatnot. My first one starts tomorrow, and figuring I'm going to be as prepared as i'll ever be at this point, decided to give myself a pushup exhaustion test like I told myself I would.

    Since I felt like I had been cheating with my over shoulder width apart hands pushups, I decided to start again, hands strictly in line with the width of my shoulders. I managed 33. So I figure I'll start where I started last time on tuesday! It's good to still see familiar faces(okay, dps) keeping up with the program. Great job everyone!

    Starting a new thread sounds like a good plan.

    In the meantime...

    14
    10

    I kind of flaked on this challenge. The perfect pushup things really screwed up my shoulder when I was trying to use them at a wonky angle. I'm going to give it another shot... started last night again back at w1 d1. Will keep moving forward. I refuse to give up!

    I just finished and can really see the results in my arms. It took me a couple of times through weeks five and six to finish all the push-ups. It's a killer when you have to do 100+ then a max of 50. yikes!

    Best of luck everyone!!

    I have been busy the last couple weeks, so I haven't been doing this!! I am going to restart at week 3 day 1... I was liking the results I was getting...why did I stop? lol Good luck!

    Well, I keep flaking on this - I haven't yet made it through W1!

    So, I restarted W1 this week.

    Yesterday: W1 D2 (col 1 - modified p/u) 3, 4, 2, 3 Max 10.

    I can do a lot more push ups at my Max this time (I guess I am stronger!!) - so don't know if I should continue on col. 1 or move to col. 2. Think I'll try to actually finish and get to Wk 2. Maybe I'll switch columns then.

    Bwah. Starting again. Being really strict. Making sure I don't go too fast and making sure that my hands are placed strictly shoulder width.

    Week 1 - Day 1:
    14 - 18 - 14 - 14 - 20minimum.
    1 min break in between.

    Just made it to 20;; Literally could not push up after.

    Wk 1 - D3 - Finished week 1 - finally!

    Today I felt weak - could barely maintain form. I'm also lifting weights, so maybe I need to readjust my push up days and do them first thing.

    Hey all,
    Sorry I left. No really I am. Things have just been crazy around here and I lost motivation to work out at all. I was focusing on my eating instead.
    I went back to week 2 level 1 just to get me warmed up again this week. I'll probably be at week 3 again next week.

    10-ish My 4 year old was doing it with me and I started giggling. Couldn't figure the last set out. :laugh:
    I hope I will come back Wednesday. I really need to get back into it. I miss having nice arms.

    BTW Msarro, you look great! You are an inspiration!

    Oh I also wanted to ask you all if you would like to start a new thread at the beginning of every month. So we would start a new one November 1st.

    Hi everybody! MM, I agree with starting a new thread in November. :smile:

    So, I had to take a break from this challenge because I managed to strain my chest muscle somehow (not sure if it was from pushups or something else). I think it has finally healed, so I am back.

    I was on the 3rd or 4th iteration of week 4 when I stopped. When I tested over the weekend, I managed 23. So I decided to start back up on week 3, level 2:
    12
    17
    13
    13
    23 (min 17)

    See you all on Wednesday!
