Been ill for a couple of weeks and had the strength zapped out of me. Feeling a bit stronger now so looking to get back into again. Will just start at week 3 day 1 and hope that my muscles haven't atrophied!

Week 2 day 3 Column 3

16, 17, 14, 14, 20

Did

16, 17, 14, 14, 22

The two minute break between sets definitely helped on the last two. Exhaustion test up next. Did 20 first time up, would be hoping for double that now.

After watching this gem of a video I realised that I've been making a few errors regarding to correct push up technique.



At the start of my challenge I posted a video of me doing push-ups and people didn't really poke holes in my technique so I suspect that many of you are also making some common errors.

I'm not going to get bogged down chasing perfect form. Even world class gymnasts are happy with a score of 9.6ish.

Well done Tom, although no tougher than week 2, progress is progress.  I'm a couple of days behind but will pull my finger out later today and get the test done.

Did the exhaustion test today.

Got in the gym, did a 10 minute warm up on the running machine and then managed 30. Was quite gutted because I though I would do a lot more. Then trained for an hour, did a 10 minute warm down on the running machine and then managed 38. Go figure.

On week 3, day 1, column 3 from Monday. It looks quite difficult so I don't think I'll be completing it next week.

Test = 23.  A little bit underwhelmed with that, but at the same time, glad I;m not in the right hand column!

Moving onto week 4 today, after having completed week 3, column 3 on two separate occasions and the last being last week. This looks a tough week, posting should provide the platform I need. As for form, it will not be 100%, but lets get physical..

Right off the bat without stopping for more than 2 seconds in between each and doing a full press up.

How many could he do?

What do you think?

Suppsosed to do 21-25-21-21-max32.

Managed 22-26-22-22-max32, last push was a little ropey, no it was awful but with a few extra in the early sets I took it. I have reached a plateau and feel its going to get tougher from here.

Just started this yesterday, started with week 3 so aiming for October 1st for the 100. Few others in as well, will some blondes be getting there around that date? Group motivation always good...

Some ppl doing it without rest days, is that dumb?
