CyclePups Week 5

[OakLeaf]

I'll lead off

I'm repeating week 4 of the program this week - moved down to column 2 last week, (hopefully) doing week 4, column 3 this week.

My triceps are a little sore from this weekend's big ride (ride report after I have a bit of processing time!) - so I squeezed out my pups, but none of it felt easy, not even the first set.

Then I lost count in the last set I was counting by 5s... Pretty sure I did 35, I really doubt I could've done 40.

I moved onto week 5 but I fear repeat time may be coming, it is just getting so hard. Tonight I did my exhaustion test at 40! Tomorrow I will do day 1.

Can't find week 4's finals, but if someone can update me: Week 4, column 1, day 3: 72! Oh my! Had no idea it was that many! Wow!

I am starting week 4 of the program. Because I'm in such a rush because of work right now, I ended up splitting "day 1" into three sets on Sunday night and two sets tonight Monday. So I did 12, 14 and 11 last night and 10 and 17 tonight.

It was tough. Actually last night wasn't bad, so I had hopes to make it to 20 on the last set tonight, and I literally fell on my face trying to do a 18th.

I think I'll try to do this week's program as is, and repeat it next week. I really want to push my limits, but I don't want this to feel like a failure, either.

Did my exhaustion test today (while exhausted.. appropriately!).
40 was all I could squeeze out.
So for week 5 I drop to column 2. OK with me... looks daunting either way!
I'll do Tue/Thur/Sat this week and check in then.
Good luck to all!

PS - anyone who's on week 5 of the program, remember that for days 2 and 3 you will be doing 8 sets! It's a little confusing the way he has the columns laid out.

Oh lord, eight sets!

Jes we are on the same schedule, I plan to do mine as soon as I get home from commuting. Ouch.

The PUO didn't get this until yesterday. You should have seen her face. She was so perturbed she stood on her head. (CLICK on the photo)

Oh yea, she also said that she'd post last week's results when she gets home (so maybe lagter this evening).
