CyclePups Week 5

I will repeat this week. 132. Wish me luck (or strength, or mental fortitude......!)

What bugs me the most about the problem is that there is no rest week built in. Six weeks without backing off is a lot of time.

However, based on my experience, I could not hurt myself doing push ups: I just quit before it's too late because it's so hard!!

So I did the pre-Week 5 "exhaustion" test today. It wasn't a true test because I intentionally stopped at 41 - the minimum required for Column 3 - just to prove to myself that this guy is nuts. There is no freakin' way I'm moving on to W5C3, in fact I'm now thinking about repeating Week 4 in either Column 2 or 3.

I do like this program and find it fun, if not ridiculously hard. I just find my inability to keep up with the constant daily and weekly progression a bit discouraging.

I missed day 3, super duper sore from working on the new landscaping Saturday. I will repeat week 5 because it really challenged me and I missed a day. :o

I took this week off. I am going to start today with week 4. So total pups 0.

Slow to finish the week -- My Tu/Th/sat turned into Tu./ Fri / Monday. But I did it. I did day 3 of week 5, column 2 today.
BARELY. Had to squeak out several of the last few of sets on my knees. (probably did 20 total on my knees).

Total in the end of the effort: 175.

I think that's the correct math! Whoa... no wonder I'm having trouble typiing.

Haven't done the exhaustion test yet. When is everyone doing theirs? The next day after day 3? Anyway -- I will try to get it done by tomorrow or the next morning. I guess I'll be a week behind by the time I finish the next weeks' workouts.
