I'll get this going, before I forget to post!
58 years old. 6 standard pushups on initial test. Rank/Column 2
Week 1: Exceed the max each day! (2, 2, 3)
Week 2, Day 1 - Completed as prescribed, with a Max of 14! (11 required, over by 3!)
Week 2, Day 2 - Completed as prescribed, with a Max of 17! (13 required, over by 4!)
I can feel that I am getting stronger! Moving boxes and furniture, and picking up my 52 pound granddaughter sure is helping!!! Helping my daughter move tomorrow will be a bit easier, too, because of this challenge!
I'm doing almost three times what I did when I first started. If I hadn't missed Monday, I'd be even better.
I'm going to try to do Sunday/Tues/Thursday/Saturday, so I can get back on track with the rest of you.
Hopefully this weekend will be the Sunday.
Keep going, guys! We are making progress!!!

I'm glad it made you smile!
what I notice this week is that doing the pushups, plus taking swimming classes is killing me! maybe I need to stretch more after or something cause my arms are in pain!

I did : 12/13/10/10/15
even with the pain I wont give up!0 -

my chest is sore...glad i have a 2 day break bfore i have to do them again.0 -
Don't forget that for week 3 you have to take the inicial test again!
If you managed 16-20 push ups in the latest test, follow column 1.
If you completed between 21 & 25, column 2 is for you.
More than 25 consecutive push ups? Excellent! You'll be following column 3.
I took the test today and did exactly 20, but the column 1 looks too easy for me and column 2 looks like I can do it but I will be in pain.. so what Im going to do is repeat week 2 ...
see you all next week!0 -
OK! Week 2 -

Erm… I'm a day behind — today will be day 3 of week 2 for me — but I'm confused as to when I'm supposed to do my exhaustion test? Do they mean the final set from day 3 of week 2, or are you supposed to wait a few hours so your muscles can recuperate, and then do the exhaustion test?0
-
you should wait a day or so and than take the test0

Thanks! That makes sense.0
