Report, we want to hear the truth!
(You can repeat week one if you want to, we won't rat you out)!
According to the instructions, I need to start at week 3, so my results:
17-19-15-15-23
All done as decline chair pushups. The last set was very hard. I stopped when my form started deteriorating.
ok, i did a set last night... it was supposed to be day 1 week 3... but i couldn't find the paper, and i did it at judo towards the end of the warm up. i did 16-19-19-17-30... which is close to what i was supposed to do. 30 was hard, but not actually my limit... i had to stop because instruction started, so continuing would have been rude. saturday ( tomorow) i will be doing the 20-25-15-15-max. just typing it may help me rememeber.
I put my sets in my phone...now I'm wondering if I goofed by starting with week one...back to read the directions.
I was fine to start at week 1, but apparently some of you who can knock out a lot more start at week 3. I just did my second day yesterday and tomorrow I'll do the third day.
You don't start on week 3, you start on the high level of week 1 -- or at least that is the aim of the program..
Just finished W3D2 -- 16 - 14- 14- 12 "max" at 15 (today actually hurt doing them...)
This is from the page, and what i based starting on week 3 on. but i also had kind of done weeks one and two, just in a spotty, stop and start kind of way, so i was happy enough not to start over.
incedentally, i am still working in a spotty way. was supposed to do a set saturday, and didn't. so, i guess i will do them today/now...
I'm going to repeat my week 1. I did two of the three days, but I didn't do as many push ups as I could for the last set on each day, I just did the minimum. Grrr...of course I know I'm screwing it up a bit by doing the push ups in my BJJ class for their warm up, but that's just too bad.
Update: I'm still slacking...will try to do week 1 day 1 tonight.
Column 3 of the old program
D1 (Aug 27): 10 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 16 (min 7) = 50
D2 (Aug 29): 12 + 12 + 10 + 10 + 15 (min 10) = 59
D3 (Aug 31): 15 + 13 + 10 + 10 + 22 (min 15) = 70
I've started over with week one in the "new" system -- I got seriously side-tracked on my way to week 4.
Week one, column 3
W1D1 Complete 10-12-7-7-15
Just starting Week 1.
10-12-7-7-12 - Tired and sore, I hope this gets easier.
10-12-8-8-13 - Not getting easier, my chest is really tight today. I am doing day three on Monday so the weekend should give me some time to recover.
11-15-9-9-13 - Wow. That hurt.
Ok. I'm starting week 1 again for about the seventh time. Somewhere in there, I switched to men's style though. I want to get to higher numbers... so here I go again.
I'm doing my last day of week 1 today.... Doing the men's style on training schedule 2. I hear you @kyashiis... gotta do those men's pushups! I can just imagine myself now pumping 100 push-ups in a row and people's eyes popping out from shock! BRING IT!
I have been doing this since November 1st of '08. I made it all the way to week 5 but decided that my form was not good enough when i got past 50 pushups in a row. (i also decided that if I am going to claim that I can do 100 pushups in a row I damn well better do them right). Anyway I am now into the program for 12 going on 13 weeks and I am on week three for the past 3 weeks.
Even though the site says to rest longer if needed this is simply untrue. if you rest 5 minutes between each set you are screwing your self when it comes time to getting 100 done in a row. i can do all of day three of week 5 right now if i waited 5 minutes between each set. But i can not do the last day of week three in the exact allotted time.
I weigh 270 (down 100 lbs) and I can bench press 270 And I have short arms so In theory I should rock this challenge. But it aint happenin' for some reason. Also I have not missed a single day in 13 weeks and I still can not do the challenges in the exact time that is allotted.
So can anyone really do this challange, cuz I aint giving up even if it takes me a whole year but this ish seems crazy now that i am in it for 13 weeks.
Thought I would check in...
I am doing better, but I am just adding more pushups as I can do them. I am fairly regular in doing them every other day. I am doing 6 or 7 at a time for 4 or 5 sets for a total of 30 pushup in a short period of time. I rest for a couple of seconds between sets.
It's still hard. But, from my experience of the Couch Potato to 5K run program, I know it takes some time to get to the breaking point when you really get stronger and more able to do the task at hand.
I can't wait for that day!
W1 D1 2-3-2-2-8
Seamed to easy maybe I wasn't at my best when I did the initial test best to redo.....
I'm going to start today...I did the initial test last night and could only manage 6.
does anyone do them on their knees?
Week one, Day one
10-12-7-7-9 (Very difficult) Much more difficult than I thought it would be. When I was done (and very tired) I checked how much I was lifting by getting into the pushup position with my hands on the bathroom scale. It registered:
215lbs - with my feet elevated on a chair
195lbs - in the standard position
145lbs - from my knees
I'm 260lbs and evenly distributed, so for you math nerds (like me) thats 83%, 75% & 56% of your body weight you would be lifting (45 times in approx 7 minutes). Had I done the math first, I would have gone from my knees!
