One hundred push ups--9.1.08 start group

[SadieKate]

Let's get this spreadsheet pulled together.

Just so the 100PUC’s instructions aren’t lost in the jumble and I can get the spreadsheet pulled together for this weekend:

• If you want to participate in this 6 week challenge starting this week, please post your intentions here.
  
• Example: my name is yellow, I am definitely in for starting week 1 on 9/1, and I am in column 3.

Thanks Sadie! Mine looks right on the spreadsheet. Now I am accountable, sore chest/arms and all.

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!

[SadieKate]

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.

Who occasionally morphs to Push Up Shrew.

OK, my name is jobob, I am definitely in for starting week 1 on 9/1, and I am in column 1.

Altho in my case it should be column 0.5

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!

[SadieKate]

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

[bluebug32]

Thanks!! Much clearer.

[jobob]

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.

* 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??

[Flur]

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!

[firenze11]

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!)

[Flybye]

Flybye started 9-2-8 at level 2, completed 28 pups(pushups)(my own lingo .)
I am pretty sore, but I'll give it a shot again tomorrow. Today I need a pec massage .

[spindizzy]

I'm in - column 2, fun! fun! fun!

Hope I can lift my arms to type.

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.

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