One hundred push ups--9.1.08 start group

[jobob]

I did my group 1, week 1 day 3 workout this morning: 5/4/4/3/15 = 31.

But they were knee pushups. I can still barely eeke out one full pushup. But at least I'm getting closer to the ground with it.

I did Column 1, Week 1, Day 3 today. Waiting 2 whole minutes between sets was tough!

5+4+4+3+7 = 23

Whew. Day 3, column 1

5-5-4-3-16=33

It's the back that gives out before the arms.

Wow- 16!!! You rock!

I hear ya on the back thing. My core muscles keel over and die long before my arms or chest do. Glad to hear that I'm not alone...

That's only one more than KneeBob up there. I just goofed and did 5 in the second set because I forgot so the total ended up 2 more.

I'm doing full pups on a 15" bench. If my back does get sore, I may have to consult the PUC for Plan B.

Just read this. I am intrigueed. I feel challeged. And one thing I CAN do is push ups. (Or so I think!)
So can I start on Monday (9/8)? I guess I need to read all this to really undersand the "challenge".
AND If I start on Monday...should I start w/ week 2 of the plan?

Start with Week 1. That'll let you build a base. It'll start getting tough soon enough!


SK, should the spreadsheet track people who join next week?

[SadieKate]

There are many people who've said they want to start next week (as in 9/7/08) and we've been asking for someone to maintain a spreadsheet for them.

I'll be happy to share the spreadsheet with whoever steps up!

Just to keep me honest, could not do 3rd day this morning. (Was on a W-F-Sun schedule.) Did my century ride. But did them when I came home. 10+10+8+8+5+15=49. I'll try to be more prompt next week!

I'm way way behind. I tried to do some push ups last week & this weekend but every time I tried, I just coughed & coughed.

I'll try again this week..

[SadieKate]

CC, coughed and coughed? You smokin' again? I musta missed something. Sorry!

Spreadsheet is updated through here so the PUO will probably be taking over soon.

Next week I'm making MP drag me aroound NorCal on the Waves to Wine so I won't be updating the spreadsheet until late on Sunday. Gives you a few extra hours (unless the PUO takes it on).

Oh, and I didn't post for you if you didn't give me a TOTAL. The PUS isn't good at maths, especially on weekends.
