Wow. I'm grateful the plan was edited.
My parents were visiting all week and we did LOTS of things but few pushups. I did do some sort of an in-between-week-2-and-week-3 on Wednesday morning, and I got my husband to do the full week 3 day 1 set for me while I did about 25% less. :) My mom and dad did a few too, that was pretty cool.
So the bottom line is that I will be starting week 3 next week. I'll keep reporting my progress. :)
Great job everyone! I'm glad at least a few of us could manage!!
Week 3/Day 3 - 91. Wasn't pretty.
I've been doing these crossfit classes this week. Couldn't walk for 2 days after the first class. Then can't lift my arms for 2 days after the second. (whine, whine) My coach inserted some ##@!* push-ups into one of my regular gym work-outs. (a circuit no less, so 3 sets of them!) I've looked at a lot of floor this week.:D
I did it but wow do I hurt. Day 3= 91. Trying to tell myself I can stay at level two for the next week. :o
Those of you working with a coach or trainer, have you told them you're doing this program??? It's hard to understand why they would have you doing MORE pups (or too much of any chest/tricep/anterior delt work) on your "rest" days.
I just looked at what is ahead for week 4, I started to cry. My shoulders are still tight from week 3 but we are half way there!!
Anyone have plans to keep pushups part of their fitness routine? I want to try to do 100 pushups 3x a week to help with upper body and core strength. I can't believe I just put that out there.
So the CyclePUPs will have moved on to week 4 but I am stuck in week 3 for failing to do my PUPs last week.
Did Week 3 Day 1 (Column 1) this morning as a "reward" for doing my writing session first thing in the morning. 10 / 12 / 7 / 7 / 11 = 47, pretty cool stuff. My arms are shaking a bit though.
yellow, I understand alcohol and too much food, but I have to know how dirt keeps you from doing more pups :p
(imagining myself during a camping trip... "my hair's so scuzzy my head weighs an extra 5#"... "I'm not going to put my face so close to the ground when I don't know who peed there last night"... or :confused:...)
Week 3 completed: OUCH!!!!
I did 122. The last 6 I must admit, were on my knees. But up till then I was up on the toes. Oh my... so glad I get 48 hrs to rest from that!
A gal I work with came to work and told me I motivated her to try real pushups... she was so excited b/c she did ONE on her toes! I had to gloat... "Ask me how many I did this morning!"... ONE HUNDRED AND ONE! She couldn't believe it. Neither can I!:D
It's amazing what we all have accomplished in upper body strength in the last 3 weeks! We are STUDS! ;):p
I haven't looked yet at week 4.. I'm VERY afraid.
That's so funny! I was trying to decide how to maintain after this (if THIS ever ends!). 2-3x / week of 50-75 is what I figured would be good. I do some of this at boot camp when I make it anyway, so I figured that would be enough! I may change my mind once I can do 100 -- may not want to lose that. Bragging rights, if nothing else!:DQuote:

Well I am doing the knee ones but it is still hard! Eventually I want to push myself to complete the challenge on my toes but I could only test out at one when we started this. I plan to continue the knee ones and maybe come January when it is dark and cold and I don't want to ride do the toe ones. :D
Reporting late...
Week 3, Column 1 ... 55 pushups!!!!
(I'm doing half full, half knees, but I'm doing more and more fulls each week!)
See ya in week four!
Okie doke, I'm about to declare this thread closed and post a new thread for our 4th week (note that I don't say "week 4" since some of us are repeating past weeks according to the schedule).
I'll be PMing a few of you in order to determine status!
PUO
Oops, guess that means I missed two weeks. Oh well. I accomplished lotso things otherwise.
