One hundred push ups--9.1.08 start group

[SadieKate]

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

[bluebug32]

Thanks!! Much clearer.

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!

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 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 .

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.

Milkbone, go here to learn about it. You can start next week. It might be tough to do it all this week now that it's Wednesday...

[tulip]

I'll start on next week's spreadsheet. Great idea.

A big thanks to SadieKate for being so organized and so patient!

OK, I did day 2 of week 1 this afternoon. Ouch. But I survived.

12-12-10-10-30 (74 total)

It is most definitely easier when one has NOT had wine immediately before doing pups.

Flybye, I thought you weren't starting until next week??!! Welcome to week 1!
