If you're starting the program this week, please post your day 3 totals here! Spreadsheet is live.
Mind if I join? I was going to start last week but only got Day 1 done. :o Crazy stressful week!
Thanks,
Lora
You're in. Group 2, right? Hope this week goes better for you.
And a note to everyone: I wasn't thinking ahead when I signed on to do this - my computer access is going to be sporadic over the weekend. I will TRY to have the spreadsheet updated Sunday night, but it might not be until the early part of next week. Sorry :o
I'm in!! Although I'm going to start tonight, is that okay?
I plan to do M/W/F.
Okay, need to go do my first set, ahhhhhhhhhhh!!
I am in group 1:rolleyes::mad:
Ok...lol...I am completely clueless about the whole spreadsheet thing...
I started week one, day one today, did my initial test Friday -"ranked" at "3" on my initial test...so does that mean I am group 3?? sorry, like I said clueless...first time doing this sort of thing..:confused:
did 10-10-8-6-20 = 54 for today : )
thanks for any and all help in advance...:)
Yes, if you completed more than 10 pups in your initial test, you're in group 3 for the first two weeks.
Read through the 100 pups website and get an idea of the program. I've added some tips, mostly in the 9/1/08 Week 1 thread. The spreadsheets are just for fun, so we can track all the hundreds of pups we powerful women are doing! :)
If you want to be included in the spreadsheet, post your day 3 total (sum of all 5 sets) in this thread at the end of each week. Lots of us are posting what we've done each day, not just at the end of the week. Have fun!
yay!!... just did my day 1/week 1 set:D
thanks for doing this Oakleaf... :D
holy crap!! how can you do 10/10/8/6/20!!!:eek: amazing!!Quote:

I missed last week. How do I join?
Read through the Week 1 thread for the group starting last week. After your initial test, let me know which column of the plan ("group") you'll be following, and post your totals in this thread at the end of each week.
Hope I'm doing this right. Just finished the initial test and my rank is 2. It's all I could do to finish the test, so I'll need to start my first-day workout tomorrow. I hope that's okay.
I am wondering what the five numbers stand for in some reported results. Would someone explain, please? I suppose I'll discover the answer, but thought I'd ask anyway.
Thanks!
Yikes, I just answered my own question. Having just re-read the Day 1 workout, I see we do every level on Day 1. I must have blocked that out the first time I read it! :eek:

1) 10/10/8/6/10
2) 12/12/10/10/12
3) 15/13/10/10/15 My arms were shaking after these!
I'll hopefully find the time this week to do all 3 again!

TOTAL: 163
Group 1, and I'm gonna go Tues-Thurs-Sat on this.
This should be fun!
I don't know why he put those stupid rankings in that table for the first test :rolleyes: - it seems to be confusing a lot of people. If you did 6-10 pushups in your initial test, you're in COLUMN (group) 2. If you did 11 or more (which could still put you in "rank 2" on the initial test), you're in group 3.Quote:

Hey Life...if I can post my pathetic amount of pushups, you can to. I struggled to do 11 day one. I'm worried if I can even do them tomorrow. I have no upper body strength. I'm probably the weakest on this thread. :mad: Oh well at least I'm giving it my best shot.
OK, I did my self test last night. I was too afraid my group would be too hard, so I stopped after 11. I'm over 40 but under 55, so that puts me in group 2. Two more and I would have been in group 3, and I don't need that kind of pressure! :p
I will do my first workout tonight. I plan on following a Tues/Thurs/Sat schedule (I can't do Wednesdays). Hope that doesn't disqualify me from this group?!
Edited to add: DUH. I just reread the site, I get it now. I'm in Group 2 to start...but I'm working from column 3 for the challenge. That's confusing, isn't it?
ok...I'm confused...lol...I thought I had it figured out, but after reading the last posts I'm confused again...
Ok..did my initial test and day one/week one so far... I "ranked" #3 and am 30 years old....so does that put me in group 3 still??
:rolleyes:
it says to not pay attention to rank... or age for that matter.Quote:

more than 10 pushups - you follow the 3rd column... group 3
I think:eek::p
I agree w/ Chicago...pick you column based on what you can do.
Column 3 is a bit tough if you only do a few past 10....(as i stated in another post on another thread of the PUPS!)
yes, that's right.
Ok...thanks ladies...group 3 it is then...yippee!! (I think):rolleyes:
week one/day two tomorrow...lookin' forward to it...although I'm not sure I should be...
I did Day 1 tonight and realized I really should be doing MWF. LOL! I ride on Tues and Thursdays and I'm beat tonight. Not to mention DD has cross country and soccer so we don't get home 'till after 8. :eek: Did it though 7-7-5-4-5

I just did my first workout tonight. It was HARD...but it's supposed to be, right? 10-10-8-6-8 I might have eaked out one more on the last set if one of our dogs didn't take that moment to lick my ear! :p
If I can't do Thursday's workout, I may be asking to move down a group. We'll see though...
I just did Day 1 of Week 1 and I am Group 1.
31 years old and pushups are my WEAKNESS!!!
2/2/2/2/3
Weak I am. This I know. :D
Week one/Day two...
12/12/10/10/25= 69 !!!:eek:
feelin' great...good job ladies!!:D
week one day 2
WOW!!!! I cant believe how weak I am. So embarrassing . I did 4-3-2-2-4 I don't know if I got down far enough ,but I did my best. I put on the "Rocky 1" movie for motivation. I'm 54.
Cut it out with the negative self-talk will ya all!
Am I going to have to make you drop and give me... never mind. :cool:
You're getting stronger! "Rocky," well okay but that's a guy. "GI Jane," whichever "Terminator" movie that was, also the TV series that I never saw. How about the "Wonder Woman" theme song, forget the brass bra, or the "Bionic Woman." Powerful wimmins, that's us, and getting more powerful day by day!!
Thanks for the pep talk Oak....no more negative talk from me...at least we are trying right???:D
Ahhhh - I have that lovely little tightness/soreness in my upper body today. It's been SOOOO long since I've felt that anywhere but in my legs and I'm actually really enjoying it. :D Does that make me a freak? :confused:
Week 1 / Day 2
4/3/2/2/6 = total 17:eek: that's good for me.
... and I just got home from an 8mile trail run which makes it all better... I sooooooooo love trail running.
Time for sushi!!:D
okay milkbone... I will be sure NOT to follow your post when reporting our stats... :eek:Quote:

I am on the M-W-F schedule and usually in the PM.
I usually log on at work (oh no!:eek:)--so I may not post til monday. I'll try and log on this weekend.
FYI...since I can do 10+ I started in Column 3 on Monday...But I BARELY made it. I have been sooooooo sore!!!! It hurts to run (pec's are attached to something else that moves during running!)
So last night (weds) I admitted defeat and moved to the more reasonable column 2. I didnt' think I could even do one! My first couple were very "shallow" if you know what I mean! But I warmed up and completed.
So I am in column 2 (I want to stay there!). And we are only reporting/posting day 3, correct?
Oak...thanks for taking on the spreadsheet. And we all will be patient.
I DO LOVE this challenge. I just hope I can get my sports bar no and after tomorrow's set!:o
I think you can report and post whenever/whatever you want... but the spreadsheet will be updated just with "day 3" of each week's training.Quote:

Either way, I'm going to be a bit behind the schedule...
I just did my PUPs I managed to all that was required ,but I don't think they were very good ones. I do feel a bit stronger ,but I need to be able to go lower.
total-40 ; ) better than nothing. Have a great weekend
okay week 1 done:D
but I can't update the sheet... am I supposed to update it myself?
I felt like crap doing the first couple sets but then seemed to get a bit stronger:rolleyes::p
week 1/day 3 = 5/4/4/3/7 for a total of 23:D
