Press ups assumption

[pleno1]

anybody doing the sit up one too?

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?

I'll probs be finished by Oct 1st....

Did week 3, day 1, column 3

14, 18, 14, 14, 20

Did them all but struggled. Can't see me doing day 2.

Week 3, day 1, column 2

12-17-13-13-17 asked for and got.  Felt like I could have found an extra two or three on the end, but I'll find out soon enough as day 2 asks for them!

Week 4, day 2, column 3. Just ouch.

25-29-25-25-max 36. I managed 26-30-26-26-36, with the last few reps on the last set stalling at the top. Had a tough day with other phys and my form was downright filthy on the last set. In addition, I was really out of breath following the last set and I rate my cv better than my minuscule muscles.

Keep up the good work all and keep posting!

Week 3 day 3 col3. Took 2 mins rest before the final set, which I did 28, shaking heaivily on the last couple with slight pauses at the top. Ouch indeed.

Week 3, day 2

20, 25, 15, 15, 25

Did 20, 25, 15, 13 gave up.

Massive raise from 80 to 100 to 120 on day 3 and I'm not up to it at the moment. Starting a new regime to shock my body into doing lots of press ups. 60 before going to work, 90 in the gym and then a further 60 before bed. Back to day 2 in a week.

Good luck to everyone trying this.

Been missing a few days but have had two goes at week 4 day 1 level 2 18-22-16-16-25.

Managed it last Thursday but decided to repeat it as i just did it. Didn't get back into it till yesterday, combination of being too busy (excuse i know) and lack of motivation at times. Still quite happy with the progress as I managed to do the level again. So still going to keep repeating this level till I manage to get back into the 2 day cycle.

I've not done any press ups for 2 weeks for various reasons (none of them good).

Been going great at the gym though so I doubt I'll have dropped off too much.

I can't go to the gym next week as I'm going away so I'll get back on this from Monday.

I'm going to try to jump straight back in at the start of week 4 which is where I left off. It's asking for 18 - 22 - 16 - 16 - 25+ so could be fun!!

Good luck mate. Will be really difficult to complete by October 1st but definitely possible.

I personally can't see a problem with skipping rest days if you're already reasonably fit and not aching. Would be silly for a beginner though.

Week # 3.

Day # 2.

Column # 2.

Attempt # 1.

Fail # 1.


Needed to do 14 - 19 - 14 - 14 - 19.

Managed to do 14 - 19 - 14 - 14 - 12.

It's tough now.

Week 4, day 3 column 3 done and dusted. One trick I am using is breaking the big numbers into and 10s, trick the brain into thinking its not 40 in one go, its just 4 x 10s, this works for me.

[cambridgealex]

Week 4 day 1- last set was at least 32 and managed 38, whereas other days I've only just managed the minimum requirement. Feeling good!

Counted them in like you suggested Craig, nice tip

[teamonkey]

back on the oil rig, went to gym yesterday

shoulder still injured, couldnt do a single push up (been 6 months now since i hurt it)

think i'll look at the sit up version instead and report on here

[cambridgealex]

Urgh, way weaker than Saturday. Didn't finish 4th set and only did 25 for the final set when minimum was 36. Not sure what could cause this huge drop.

Was worried about my form so perhaps was dropping lower today but still just felt so much weaker than Saturday. This is going to be very tough.
