Press ups assumption

Week 3 day 2 column 3.

Tried this last week and failed badly. Since, I have done at least 200 push ups a day for three days and then haven't done a thing on Sunday and Monday.

Today needed 20, 25, 15, 15, 25, did 20, 25, 15, 15, 25.

Struggled with the first 25 but I think I hadn't set up right. The last 25 was a grind so I don't think I will manage day 3 but will give it a go on Friday.

Good luck all.

sit ups test:

so i'll be looking at starting the program in column 3, week 1 day 1

starting on thursday 18th, and intend to continue this as part of my daily routine when i'm not onboard the rig

Week 5 fail, have been working anti social hours so I was forced to do day 1 in work. Came up short in number and also the lads laughed at my technique. To do 100 in a oner I don't expect to have great form but I was still subject to 'are they just head bobbers'. The form in the you tube clip is awful, although the bloke starts with the hands underneath the shoulders and this IMO is a lot tougher than the wide arm 'bobbers'. I did mange 50 decent'ish press ups in the exhaustion test with scope of doing another 10 or so as I was not on the limit, but I guess it's start week 5 again next week for me.

SIT UPS

week 1 day 1      15,18,10,10,14+ (made 15) PASSED

rest day today, then onto day 2 saturday

considering combining some of the other options such as squats and tricep dips (if injured shoulder will allow)

might turn into a bit of a x-training routine

Week 3, day 3, column 3.

22, 30, 20, 20, 28

Did, 22, 30, 20, 20, 24

Gutted that I couldn't find another four at the end. Stood up, had ten seconds rest then went back down and did them but counting it as a failure. Having another go on Sunday.

Had a couple of boxercise classes last week so a bit behind, but completed week 4 day 2 today which I failed last week.

25/29/25/25/36 Collapsed on the last rep and was pausing at the top during the last ten. Happy to be improving though.

Started week 4 day 1 column 3 yesterday.

Need 21, 25, 21, 21, 32

Did 21, 25 - work phone rang with a call I needed to take so spent 10 minutes on that. Back in the Gym and did 30 minutes on the Arc trainer before deciding to have another go.

Did 21, 25, 21, 21, 24.

Think I would probably have done it first time and possibly had I not gone on the Arc. Skipping having a go today, will try tomorrow.

Anyone notice a difference yet? My moobs have gone and my arms are quite a bit bigger although I have been training every day as well.

[RED-DOG]

I will be on this again soon but atm I'm very very not very well with man flu.

did 29/33/29/28/36
