You can change groups (columns) if you find that your intensity level needs to be increased or decreased. No do-over weeks, but you can change columns.

The 100PUO will publish the results and start a new thread each week, so push-up, log, repeat.

Acronym explanation:
100PUO = yellow (100 Push Up Organizer)
100PUC – OakLeaf (100 Push Up Coach)
100PUS = SadieKate (100 Push Up Statistician)
pup = push-up (per Flybye)

PS - The Statistician prefers no PMs so she can make posts like "spreadsheet updated through this post". She's a bear of very little brain. :o

    I am definitely in for starting week 1 on 9/1, and I am in column 1. The draft spreadsheet currently has me listed in both Groups 1 and 2, but I should be listed in Group 1. (This is mostly my fault- I made a confusing statement early on in the other thread.)

    I am such a data weenie, so this spreadsheet is right up my alley! :cool:

    Gotcha. I probably copied a row to keep the formatting and formulas and then forgot to change the name. That means someone is missing due to the PUS.

    Sorry to be slow, but we should keep track of how many total we do a week?

    Also, I forgot to mention in the previous thread that I'm in column 2. Thanks!

    I edited the directions for posting each week. Is that clearer?

    I have to admit, it took me a little while to figure out that SK is tabulating the total number of pushups that we do on Day #3 (only) of each week.

    So we can laze around on Days 1 and 2* and only be held accountable for Day 3. Excellent. :cool:

    * oh I'm just kidding.

    The PU O sounds like where you keep your Vicki's Secret bras!

    Q: Am I correct in remembering that we re-test every 2 weeks? So mebbe on the 2nd week we still do D3 or our re-test??

    I'm a 9/1 Start and am in column 2. I'll be doing day 2's pushups after my ride this afternoon. Yay!

    K, I'm on the spreadsheet and in the right spot.

    I'm firenze11, I'm starting the week of 9/1, and I'm in column 1.

    Thanks SadieKate, that spreadsheet sure is purdy. (TE is making me data-loving!)

    Here's my take as the PUS with very little brain: If the minimum # of pups is too much, you should first modify the type of pup for lower intensity. If that isn't enough, just tell the PUS (me) to put you in the next group down (fer instance, move from group 2 to group 1). If group 1 is too intense, keep modifying to decrease intensity - like using a bench, a higher bench, a physio ball, a wall, etc. By modification of the pup and the group, we should be able to follow the 6-week program as a group. Otherwise, the PUS and her spreadsheet will disintegrate before your eyes.

    As the KISS-method PUS, this is my recommendation. :eek: :rolleyes:

    However, this should be approved by the PUC and PUO.
