MM: If you're not feeling relief soon, I'd recommend seeing a chiropractor. I thought I'd tough it out with some back pain a couple months ago, but it just wouldn't go away. My wife convinced me to go to her chiro, and I noticed a difference right away... but I still can't do 58 pushups! :flowerforyou: Marla: I'd like to…

"PRESENT!":drinker: keiko: In golf, even more important than pushups is exercise for the muscle between your ears :smile: Pushups will help because they strengthen many of the muscles used in the golf swing...just don't keep score. :sad: I haven't logged pushups in awhile, but I'm still at it - week 5, day 1. I got further…

:embarassed: Ladies, ladies ... Please excuse me for interrupting. (Actually, talking about pushups seems kind of boring now) Anyway, yesterday I started week 5 at level 3: 36 40 30 24 30 (+ 10 after rest - min 40) Still having trouble knocking out the last set - makes my manboobs droopy just thinking about it :frown:

Keep up the good work everybody. I don't know what % of people can get to 100 pushups in 6 weeks, but my guess is that it's about as many as palm trees in Alaska.:noway: Decided to do the post-week 4 test today and got to 50.:bigsmile: My initial test was 36, so I'm happy to see progress. I'm going to try week 5 level 3…

Same results today :explode: 29 33 29 29 35 OK - I'm :sad: but next week's another week. See ya'll Tues.:drinker:

I think I'll give it a go next week, keiko, even if I can't hit the max for week 4 on Saturday. :mad: I didn't do it yesterday, but I came closer: 29 33 29 29 35 (max. 40) Day 3 for me is Saturday, so I'll try it one more time :yawn:

Congrats keiko, on getting to week 5. I'm still stuck in week 4. My work schedule has thrown my routine off this week. I'm at week 4, day 3 level 3 and couldn't get to it yesterday til later than usual. 29 33 29 29 33 + 10 after rest (min.40) Still tryin

MM: I don't think you oughtta worry bout me getting there first. I repeated week 4, day 3, level 3 today with similar results: 29 33 29 29 32 + 10 after rest (min. 40):noway: I may be here for awhile:yawn: But Tuesday is another day. Hope ya'll have a great weekend.

Welcome to all the new folks. I was new myself just a couple weeks ago ... looks as though I'm rapidly gaining seniority :wink: I'm not gaining strength rapidly though - my week 4, day 3 level 3 results: 29 33 29 29 30 (+10 after rest) min. 40 That last set always kills me.

Good idea on starting a new thread, MM. And I'm impressed with your progress - you'll be wearing that T-shirt in no time. Today I was finally able to complete the week 4 day 2 level 3 workout ... (barely). 25 29 25 25 36 I thought I was gonna die. But I added another 40 after cardio. So I feel my future's pretty bright too…

My week 4 day 2 effort: 25 29 25 25 25 + 12 after resting 20 seconds (min 36) I added something else to my routine. I usually do pushups the same day I do cardio. I might warm up on my elliptical trainer for 5 - 10 minutes, do my pushups and then do 30 minutes on the elliptical. Today, after the cardio workout, I added…

Another disappointing attempt at Week 4, Day 2 : 25 29 25 25 21 (rest) + 12 more.:huh: But you're right, MM, ya gotta repeat and JUST DO IT! So I'll be back here on Saturday. keiko: thanks for the tip on the :tongue:

I can see that I'll be staying with week 4 for awhile. 25 29 25 25 30 (min 36)javascript:add_smiley('cry','post_body') ...and I haven't figured out how to post those emoticons yet either. CRAP!

Way to go, MM. I repeated week 4, day 2, level 3 again but was still short by 6 on that last set. I rested 10 seconds and then finished, but I'm going to repeat that workout until I do it w/o a break. Talk at ya'll next week.

Hope you're feeling better cp005e. It's good to know that I'm not the only one experiencing setbacks. Well yesterday, I tried week 4 day 2 but missed the min. on the last set by 6. I'm going to give it another shot tomorrow - I tried it later in the day than normal, and I just think I need to stick to mornings. Anybody…

Good morning everybody. This morning did week 4. day 1, level 3: 21 25 21 21 33 (min.32) That last set took it out of me.

OK - was able to complete day 3 of week 3: 22 30 20 20 30 (min28) - (glad nobody was taking pictures of that last set). Did somebody say double sets in week 5? Gives me something to look forward to ... I will take the time to appreciate week 4. You guys are an inspiration!

Coincidentally, I was just interrupted by the unmistakable, spasmodic sound of our cat about to hurl a furball onto the carpet. (Few things can get me to move that fast). This morning I repeated the Week 3 Day 2 workout with better results: 20 25 15 15 26 I'll try Day 3 on Saturday. Look out for those wet spots!

Hey cp005e, what about dreaded week3? My first week (Week 3, Day 3, Column 3) results: 22 30 20 20 20 max (should be 28) I'm thinking about repeating Week 3, Day 3 until I'm able to max at more than 28 rather than starting from Day 1... but I'm open to persuasion ... even derision.

Let's keep it up everybody! Week 3 day 2: 20 25 15 15 20 - should have been 25 but the sun was in my eyes.

Great job everybody. Today was day 1 for me - starting with the week 3 workout: 14 18 14 14 and finally 17 - couldn't do 20. Maybe I should have done the pushups BEFORE doing the Biggest Loser cardio workout(?)

Hey keiko: Thanks for the welcome. I'm trying for the time being to stay away from 6-packs, so I'll pass on the sit up challenge for now. I did 35 pushups this morning, which I think puts me in the neighborhood of level 58 ... or am I thinking about my age?

Just got on the site this morning and found this post. Y'all are an inspirational bunch. Hope you don't mind if I join. Thanks cp005e for starting this. Keep up the good work!
