how's everyone doing?
Kin must be there by now.
at the end of level 4 I had a dissapointing 53 for my test. I hadn't fully recovered from a heavy weekend but 50 was my target to move to level 5 so no problem.
HOWEVER, first set on level 5 was 40/32/30/25/40+
I attempted this the day after a taxing martial arts and weights session when I should have left an extra day gap.
failed for the first time in this programme and did 40/32/20/20/20 So I've decided what ever my test results next monday, I'm repeating level 5 until I can complete that set.
tonights actually looks easier as it's 20 / 20 / 18 / 18 / 15 / 15 / 14 / max (40+) with 45 secs rest
The last 40 looks nasty but up to there I think I'll be fine

I whacked my wrist, and so took a break from the schedule. I started again last night, and actually did that set you mentioned (the first one with 8 levels).
It's amazing how easy it is on some days, and on others it's a real effort.

I know what you mean.
When I tested two weeks ago I got to 45 no problem and the burn kicked in suddenly and I stopped at 50
this week when I got 53 (hoping for 60) It was hurting from about 30.
realistically, for the final test, I don't want to be relying on will power / tenacity until the final 10-15
that needs the burn not to kick in til 80+
feel a long way from that.
perhaps 2 weeks at level 5 will show the improvement I'm looking for.

Saw this ages ago and just realised people have been doing on here.
Just done 1.1, is it crucial to not do push ups on the off days for the 1st week or 2?

certainly helps later on. you're looking to work to failure on your final set and you will want to be fully recovered for your following set.
when you get to level 5, trust me, you'll be needing the recovery time
good luck

yeah, you also have to remember that the muscles go into "grow" phase after a workout when they have their rest..(about 48 hours apparently) so if you continue to use them you don't actually build up as much as you could.
Yes, I read a Men's Health mag this week...no I didn't buy it

looks like an idiot doing the smoking ones
this is a bit more impressive, but the gaps spoil it a bit
